Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924)

Ye Choirs of

New Jerusalem Op. 123

Anthem for SATB and Organ

Arranged with added parts for Trumpets and Timpani

by David Cameron

ARRANGER’S NOTE

No date is directly available for Sir Charles Stanford’s Easter anthem Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem,

but as Op. 123 it falls midway between the String Quartet No. 6 in a minor, Op. 122, dated

1910, and Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 124, of 1911.

In the early 21st century the piece has a substantial online presence, with scores available for

download (eg Robin Doveton’s edition on the Choral Public Domain Library at No. 18979), and

a number of fine performances on YouTube. These include one with the score scrolling for the

viewer. Rehearsal files for singers are also available online, at

http://www.johnfletchermusic.org/stanfordcv-ye-choirs-of-new-jerusalem/

The words were first written, in Latin, by St. Fulbert, Bishop of Chartres (952-1028). His text

Chorus novae Jerusalem was translated into English by Robert Campbell in Hymns and Anthems,

1850, and somewhat modified by the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern.

This arrangement was prepared for the Choir of Chalmers United Church, Kingston, Ontario, at

Easter 2005. The choral and organ parts are unaltered, and any standard edition may be used.

The trumpet parts, which are attached following the score, are intended to add occasional

splashes of colour and counterpoint without disrupting the flow of Stanford’s writing. They are

supported by two timpani parts, also attached. The preferred version requires three drums, but a

separate part for just two drums is also attached.
