Sunday 6th September, Trinity XIV, 10.45am Sung Mass. Setting: Mass for Three Voices, William Byrd. Motet: Sicut Cervus, Palestrina.
Some beautiful a cappella Byrd and a motet from Psalm 42; Like as the deer desires springs of water, so my soul desires Thee, O God. Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.

Sunday 6th September, 6pm, Choral Evensong and Benediction.
Responses: Reading. Psalm: 119 vv 41-56. Office Hymn: 241. Canticles: Noble in B minor.
Anthem: Verleih Uns Frieden, Mendelssohn. O salutaris: Elgar. Tantum Ergo: Fauré (G flat).

A Romantic Choral Evensong pretty much all the way. Only the Reading Responses are from the earlier Baroque period. The German text of the Anthem is Luther’s translation of a Latin Response which Cranmer renders in the Book of Common Prayer as “Give peace in our time, O Lord: because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only Thou, O God.”
