Out of the ashes of the Catholic tradition a new\\u2014and decidedly Anglican\\u2014musical enthusiasm arose, and with it three distinct styles for settings of the Canticles, so central to Cranmer\\u2019s vision for the liturgy: \\u2018short\\u2019 services presented their texts efficiently and simply, while \\u2018verse\\u2019 services complicated proceedings with the addition of soloists and more intricate textures; \\u2018great\\u2019, or \\u2018full\\u2019, services extended this development to create musical structures of astonishing diversity, and at the very peak of the genre comes William Byrd\\u2019s masterpiece, widely regarded as the finest unaccompanied setting of the service ever made.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe \\u2018Great\\u2019 Service is here presented in its correct liturgical order (with the inclusion of the frequently omitted Kyrie) and is complemented by six of Byrd\\u2019s finest anthems and two organ voluntaries from My Lady Nevells Booke, a collection of Byrd\\u2019s keyboard music put together in 1591.\u003cp\u003eO Lord, Make Thy Servent Elizabeth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVentte\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTe Deum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenedictus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKyrie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevent Us, Oh Lord\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVoluntary For My Lady Nevell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Long Shall Mine Enemies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagnificat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNunc Dimittis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut Of The Deep\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFancy For My Lady Nevell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChrist Rising Again From The Dead\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSing Joyfully\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55142439879041,"sku":"829993","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51ewyBenzaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767617094","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/829993","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
