Original

Deus in adjutorium meum. 1944-45. from This Way to the Tomb. SATB a cappella. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral, Chorus. SATB a cappella. Boosey & Hawkes Sacred Choral. 12 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060014246. Published by Boosey & Hawkes. HL.48008907. for SATB unaccompanied. Text. Psalm 70. Taken from This Way to the Tomb. incidental music to the 'Masque and Anti-Masque'. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. This setting of Psalm 70. Haste thee O God to deliver me. is a fine, passionate and almost completely overlooked anthem which ought to be in the repertoire of most cathedrals and ambitious church choirs. The psalm is a dramatic one and Britten reflects the words in a wide-ranging setting which includes extended sections for tenors. basses and sopranos. altos. He also sets the Gloria. This is not a difficult work but it is not entirely straightforward either. There is no translation in the printed score and conductors need to take a Psalter and annotate the score with a translation so that the words can be fully appreciated and a colourful performance created to reflect them. It is well worth the effort. Duration. 4 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
