Preces and Responses Vol. 2

This collection of Preces & Responses follows on from Shaw's classic 'Tudor' volume, with later settings by Gibbons & Barnard (SAATB), William Child (SAATB), Richard Ayleward (SATB, in D major), John Reading (SATB) and Thomas Ebdon (SATB, with optional organ), all in new editions and reconstructions. The Child set (comprising Preces by Child and Responses after the Creed supplied by the editor based on the Psalm attached to Child's Preces) is published here for the first time, and the Reading set is completely different after the Creed from the previously available version since it presents Reading's original Responses rather than an adaptation from his Litany. Throughout the collection the Minister's part is placed in the treble clef, and optional rhythmical versions have been given in two sets. The volume also includes settings of the Lord's Prayer by John Farmer and Richard Allison, and Final Amens by Gibbons and Mundy. See more
