Available from Morning Star Music Publishing at www.morningstarmusic.com or 800-647-2117 From the "Service in A Major, Opus 63", the "Benedictus" is a beautiful slow movement that ends with an Allegro vivace in the primary version; however, an alternate ending in the slow tempo is provided which omits the Gloria Patri. The entire "Service in A Major" forms a very effective 37 minute concert piece. In keeping with its primary function as a work for the Episcopal liturgy, each movement stands alone quite well as an attractive, independent composition in the late Romantic style. English text.
