General Information

Title: Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes
Composer: William Boyce

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB
with alto solo
Genre: SacredAnthem

Language: English
Instruments: Organ, Basso continuo
Published: 1749 or earlier

Description: A solo anthem for counter tenor or high tenor with concluding choral section. The intention seems to have been that at least one instrument in addition to the organ would realise the basso continuo where it appears. In the first section, where there are distinct organ and continuo parts, the organist should realise the continuo with his left hand. In the second and fourth sections the organ and any other instruments realise the continuo. In the third section there is no distinct basso continuo, so presumably the organ was there intended to be the only accompaniment.
