Description:
For SSAATTBB unaccompanied. The Church Music Society affirms the importance of music in worship and of the effective use of music appropriate to its proper liturgical use. It strives always to sustain the Church's wonderful musical heritage. Publications range from modern editions of well-known (but sometimes neglected) items to music by living composers designed specifically for small congregations to sing and value. These splendid and musically rewarding settings, published under the series title Chapel Royal Canticles, have been largely neglected by publishers and performers. They were almost certainly used by William Byrd as models for his own Great Service, and are therefore of prime historical importance.
