Anthems
« on: June 11, 2007, 07:25:11 AM »
Does anyone have a good definition/description of an anthem?  I would love to have some good examples of anthems too.  I've got a vague idea, but I always want to know more!

"Let Everything that Hath Breath" (Mattie Moss Clark)

"O Give Thanks Unto the Lord" (Tennessee 4th Jurisdiction)

...and pretty much anything that Dr. Clark ever wrote!  LOL!

Most recent ones...

God Be Praised ( T.D. Jakes)

Anthem of Praise (Richard Smallwood)

John 3:16 (GMWA Youth Choir)


A throwback...

O Magnify The Lord With Me (GMWA Mass Choir)


along with the ones listed are great examples too...I remember back in the 80's when you couldn't go to a church a not expect to hear at least one anthem being sung. :)

I SAY CONSULT LOOPY OR BISHOP2 ON THIS (the "anthem doctors)....but


According to my teaching an anthem is a SCRIPTURE that has been set to music.

(I got the saints at church with this one!!!  OOOOOOOOH!)

So, Byron Cage's song "for thou o lord art a shield for me ......" fits PERFECTLY into that category.  Every verse and chorus is straight scripture.

So, in the last "y'all need to sing hymns and anthems and do less of that contemporary stuff".....YEP....I TAUGHT IT!  WE NAILED IT!  And before I taught it I explained to them what an anthem was.

It was funny!!!!!!!!!!!

The majority of Faith Davis, the Minstrels and Levites latest project is full of anthems. If you watch the video, you will hear her explain what anthems are and why her songs are straight scripture...just a friendly reminder :)

This is good stuff!  I had “God Be Praised” and “Anthem Of Praise” in my head already.  Couldn’t recall with whom originated Psalm 23 though…

Keep 'em coming!

Not sure what kind of distribution she has, but she only lives like 30-45 minutes away from us!  I can't even describe how awesome Ralph and Faith Davis and their ministry is.  God through them has changed my life as a Levite, and that's aside from their music.

Quick question - who did the first arrangement of Genesis?
It's been out soooooo long, but I'd like to know.
The only recording I know of that song is the Gospel Soul Children of New Orleans.

There's no scripture in the National Anthem. :)

Again I say...MATTIE MOSS CLARK ("I Can Do All Things" album with the International COGIC Mass Choir).

I can't see "Total Praise" fitting the "anthem" category.  "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord"?  NAH!  They're good songs...but they don't fit the "accepted" definition of what an anthem is in gospel music.
