Description

English Church Music, Volume 2: Canticles and Responses is a comprehensive collection of sacred choral music. This second volume in the Oxford Choral Classics series presents a diverse range of service material suitable for use throughout the year. The evening canticles are represented by seventeen settings, including works by renowned composers such as Byrd, Gibbons, Purcell, Walmisley, Stanford, Noble, Howells, Walton, and Tippett. The selection also includes settings of the Te Deum and Jubilate Deo, alongside seven settings of the Preces and Responses and two additional early Lord's Prayers. The volume is completed with three supplementary items: previously unpublished Psalm chants by Howells, John Sanders's Good Friday Reproaches, and a written-out Order for Compline. Robert King has prepared new editions of all pre-twentieth-century works, using the earliest and most reliable manuscripts or printed sources. Playable keyboard reductions have been added to many unaccompanied items.
