Simple Preces & Responses
commissioned by Barry Johnson for St Paul’s K Street, in celebration of the establishment of a new Evensong choir.
This setting harmonizes a simple congregational psalm-tone version of the Preces and Responses. The choral parts are straightforward and suitable for both volunteer and professional choirs. The congregation is invited to participate by singing the psalm-tone setting or by singing a composed part, both of which are available at the back of the octavo and may be excerpted for inclusion in a service bulletin. If preferred, the congregational part may be omitted. The Lord’s Prayer is the most difficult component of this setting, which may be replaced with monotone chant or spoken.
