Zusatztext

OUP have entrusted this anthology to the safe hands of John Scott and Malcom Archer, both cathedral organists, composers for the church and, respectively, past and present organists at St Paul's . . . This anthology has clearly been prepared by editors each with half-a-lifetime's experience of sure-fire programming for these occasions. In consequence, SATB groups of all abilities will find enjoyable, appropriate material in what should be a worthwhile addition to many a choir collection.

Bericht

This array piont to the strengths of the collection - a diversity of traditional styles, interesting texts, and a quality of musical editing and physical presentation which we risk taking for granted with this publisher and such distinguished editors . . . But I can readily recommend its utility and suitablility for the particular slice of the liturgical year that it addresses. Alan Lewis, Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians, December 06
