An anthem for Christmas Day, publ. Nuneaton, 1779. Key was an excise officer and amateur musician, selling his compositions primarily in Nuneaton (Warwickshire), and also through agents in London. This piece, in West Gallery style, was intended for organless parishes. Key published instrumental parts to accompany the choir, comprised of traditional West Gallery trio-sonata scoring (in this instance, two oboes and bassoon): in performance a range of instruments may be employed, drawn from violins, flutes, oboes, clarinets, 'cellos, bassoons and serpents. This edition includes separate parts for string quartet (viola is added editorially for balance in the choruses) together with a choir score with reduction of the instrumental parts for organ.
Lyrics: Isaiah 9: 6,2; Isaiah 49: 13; Isaiah 52: 7,9; Isaiah 60: 1; Matthew 21: 9; John 1: 29
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
And they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called:
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world.
Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Hosanna in the highest.
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; break forth into singing, O mountains:
for the Lord hath comforted his people.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings,
that published peace and salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.
Break forth into joy. Hallelujah.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
And they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called:
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world.
Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Hosanna in the highest.
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; break forth into singing, O mountains:
for the Lord hath comforted his people.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings,
that published peace and salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.
Break forth into joy. Hallelujah.
