Chandos Anthems (Anthems for Cannons)

Album by George Frideric Handel & Arcangelo & Jonathan Cohen

Chandos Anthems (Anthems for Cannons) is a collection of church anthems by George Frideric Handel, composed around 1717–1718 for performance at the Cannons estate. The works combine Baroque choral and orchestral textures with prominent solo writing and liturgical texts, marking a transitional phase in Handel's career as he developed toward larger-scale sacred and secular vocal compositions.
