Thy hand shall be strengthened (HWV 258) is thought to have been composed between 9 September 1727 and 11 October 1727. The coronation AnthemĀ text is from Psalm 89 (verses 13-14). It is divided into three parts: a cheerful light beginning in G major, a melancholy, slow middle section in E minor and a closing Alleluia in G major.. The work is for Soprano, Alto 1, Alto 2, Tenor, and Bass. Note Perfect supplies tracks for all these voices.
Handel's first commission as a newly naturalised British subject was to write the music for the coronation of George II of England and Queen Caroline which also took place the same year.
Note Perfect provides the complete work in various options for obtaining the individual parts (for individuals who just want to learn their own part), or for all voices, (for those managing choirs to hand out relative tracks to their members).
