For SATB unaccompanied-This thoughtful and sensitive setting of the preces and responses for Evensong was written by composer John Gardner for Chorus SATB with solo parts for the priest. Gardner was a modern English composer and teacher held in great esteem who is best known for his setting of Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day which is a most popular arrangement of that carol and frequently performed. While many modern composers have turned their attention to the evening service they have generally confined themselves to the magnificat and nunc dimittis. This step into the liturgical responses is most welcome. The 3/8 setting of The Lord’s Prayer is a particular pleasure.

for SSA choir unaccompanied-Preces And Responses is a work composed by British organist Martin Neary for Unaccompanied SSA Choir. The work consists of short phrases spoken and sung by a minister before being answered by the unaccompanied choral voices. Martin Neary has served as organist and director of music at Winchester Cathedral and Westminster Abbey while he also was the musical director of the funeral service for Diana Princess of Wales.

for unaccompanied SATB chorus-For Unaccompanied SATB chorus.First performed on Wednesday 11th August 2010 given by the choirs of Gloucester Cathedral Hereford Cathedral and Worcester Cathedral conducted by Adrian Partington at the 283rd Three Choirs Festival.'In Joubert’s setting the priest’s part is sung in speech rhythm in some places but in others it is measured and occasionally interlocks with the choral parts. The harmonic style vacillates between a language that is recognizably Joubert’s and one that seems to recall Elgar’s partsongs.'    - Sunday by Sunday (RSCM) John Joubert - Preces and Responses by musicroom
