Six pieces from Musica Britannica Vol. 96-Complementary to K49 this collection is a unique offering of music by John Amner Nicholas Carleton and John Tomkins that is the only surviving Keyboard music by the respective composers. In addition to a pair of duets in themselves an unusual feature from the period there are two lengthy sets of variations Amner's being a rare example of those on a metrical psalm or hymn-tune (possibly by Tallis in this case) John Tomkins' being more conventionally modelled on the variation sets of William Byrd. Nicholas Carleton's 'A verse of 4 parts' and 'Upon the sharp' include several examples of unusual chromatic notation and wide-rangingtonal schemes.

. . . for Choirs Collections-This wonderful collection aims to provide a comprehensive resource-book covering a highly significant part of the Church's year. Its contents span all periods of what is a marvellously rich and uniquely prolific area of church music and it contains much that is not widely available elsewhere under one cover.A major policy in compiling the contents has been to ensure that they are relevant to a broad range of musical traditions with pieces of varying degrees of difficulty to suit the needs and abilities of all choirs. The requirements of the increasing number of small choral groups as distinct from church and cathederal choirs have similarly been catered for inthe choice of material. Presents pieces in order according to the Church's calendar from Ash Wednesday and Lent to Easter with a generous number of pieces for each season or day Includes the best of the standard repertoire for example Byrd's Civitas Sancti Tui and Stainer's God So Loved The World Contains fine less familiar works and new or recent arrangements of well-known tunes such as This Joyful Eastertide Now The Green Blade Riseth and Were You There Contains a number of newly comissioned anthems from well-known church composers Includes important liturgical settings for example two versions of the Litany (BCP and ASB) Vidi Aquam and Easter Alleluias Ranges widely from the sixteenth century to the present day and across all the major traditions
