Reclaiming the sound of a historic service A newly prepared edition of Tallis’s Service for Morning and Evening Prayer, with careful editorial additions to align with the current Prayer Book. This volume pairs the original choral setting with practical guidance, aiming to restore the full, reverent choral experience in sanctuary use.
The preface explains the editor’s goal: to present a compact, reliable resource that includes the complete choral material, rubrical directions, and notes on performance. It also traces the history of the English liturgy and the evolution of its music from the mid‑sixteenth century through later revisions, helping readers understand how this service fits into Anglican worship today.
- Context on the restoration of traditional choral practice and the place of Tallis’s music in church services
- Editorial additions that reflect the current form of the Prayer Book
- Historical notes about the development of liturgy, hymnody, and organ accompaniment
- Practical guidance for performers and choirs to realize the service faithfully
Ideal for readers interested in liturgical music, church history, and choral performance in Anglican sanctuary settings.
