The orchestral anthem in England, 1700-1775

The development of the verse anthem with strings in Restoration England has been thoroughly researched by many people, and such compositions by Henry Purcell, John Blow, Pelham Humphrey and others are well known. However, large-scale anthems with orchestral accompaniment continued to be written and performed throughout the following century. This study traces the history of orchestral anthems from Purcell's time through the remainder of the Baroque and up to the beginnings of the Classical era.
