PREFACE.

The following account of the sources of the plain-song and other musical ♦ettings given in this Choir-book may be useful for reference.

The Kyrie, Credo, S<tnctus, Gloria, Agnus Dei, and Bmedictus are from Merbecke's Prayer-book of 1550, as reprinted cheaply by Messrs. Xovello, under the editorship of Dr. Rimbault. But in all cases the notation of the Rev. T. Helmore has been adopted. No one who has ventured into the domain of plain-song can fail to express his indebtedness and gratitude to this accomplished musician foi his labours in this branch of church music. The sources collated by Mr. Helmore are mentioned on p. 8 of his " Fuller Directory of the Plain- Song of the Holy Communion Service." a most valuable work which ought to be widely known.* The Editor is, however, responsible for the harmonisation of these and of all other melodies in this Choir-book.

The melody of the Confession is similar to the Lectionary Tone f and is taken from the ancient Confiteor (of the Pontifical Mass), as printed in Guidettrs Direc- tor ium Chori, Rome, 1624, also in Pustet's edition of the same work (Ratisbon, 1874) ; it will be foimd on p. 33 of the " Manual of Instructions on Plain Chant," by the Rev. James Jones, published in 1845 ; also on p. 157 of " Les vrais principes du Chant Gregorien," published at Malines in 1845. It is also given m the " Magister Choralis," by the Rev. Francis Xavier Haberl, p. 155. An interesting explanation of the notes intervening between the reciting-note and the final fall of a fifth in this form of the Confiteor may be read in Father Pothier's " Les Melodies Gregoriennes," p. 262. It was sung (in conjunction wioh Helmore's version of Merbecke) for many years at the admirable choral services in Merton Chapel, Oxford, which, under the direction of the late Rev. Leighton George Hayne and the Rev. H. W. Sargent, kept alive the true spirit of Gregorian music ; but the copies were only lithographed, and it was merely described as 44 ancient," no reference whatever being made to its source or authority.

Another simple form of Lection is illustrated by the melody of the sentences " Come unto me," &c, in which (after the usual fall and rise of a minor third

* Published by Novello, price BUDtnce.

t See pp. 4-6 of Heimore's "Fuller Directory," and p. 109 oi' the same author'* " 1 n.^rr at Platn-Song."

when stating tho source of the words) there is uniformly a fall of a semitone fof Ihe comma, of a minor third for a semicolon, and of a fifth for the full stop. These sentences do not, as it happens, contain either a colon or a note of interrogation, otherwise they would be represented by the fall of a fourth, and by a semitont iown and up respectively.

The melody of the Sursum Corda and Prefaces is to be found in almost every Mi6sal with musical notes, including the Sarum Missal.

The Lord's Prayer is from Merbecke ; the version here adopted (from Pickering's reprint) is given on p. 23 of Helmore's "Fuller Directory," where may be found other forms of the Pater Noster.

Space will not admit of any discussion on the exact relation betweeD Merbecke's music and the ancient plain-song, but the reader is referred for some useful hints to the preface of Dyce's "Prayer Book with Tlain Tune," published in 1843.

The extended Amen, or Sevenfold Amen given at the close of the Prayer of Consecration and after the Blessing, was composed by the editor expressly for use in St. Paul's Cathedral, when he was preparing this Choir-book at the request of the Dean and Chapter.

J. S. 6. Amen Court, Easter, 1883.

[It is hardly necessary to remind those to whom the training of choirs is entrusted, that strict time should be gradually relaxed as the singers become familiar with the text. The best rendering of plain-song is that which makes it follow the most natural recitation of the words, regardless of our modern notion as to ul*. relative length of notes.— J. S. Oxford. 18U5.]

TTU: ORDER FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER,

OB

HOLY COMMUNION.

H So many as intend to be partakers of the holy Communion shall signify their names to the Curate, at least some time the day before.

% And if any of those be an open and notorious evil liver, or have done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed, so that the Congregation be thereby offended; the Curate, having knowledge thereof, shall call him and advertise him, that in any wise he presume 7iot to come to the Lord * Table, until he hath openly declared himself to have truly repented and amended his former naughty life, that the Congregation may thereby be satisfied, which before were offended; and that he hath recompensed the parties, to whom he hath done wrong ; or at least declare himself to be in full purpose so to do, as soon as he conveniently may.

% The same order shall the Curate use with those betwixt whom he perceiveth malice and hatred to reign ; not suffering them to be partakers of the Lord's Table, until he know them to be reconciled. And if one of the parties so at variance be content to forgive from the bottom of his heart all that the other hath trespassed against him, and to make amends for that he himself hath offended ; and the other party will not be persuaded to a godly unity, but remain still in his frowardness and malice : the Minister in that case ought to admit the 'penitent person to the Jwly Communion, and not him that is obstinate. Provided that every Minister so repelling any, as is specified in this, or the next precedent Paragraph oj this Kubrick, shall be obliged to give an account of the same to the Ordinary within fourteen days after at the farthest. And the Ordinary shall proceed against the offending person according to the Canon.

5 The Table, at tlie Communion -time having a fair white linen cloth upon it, shall stand in the Body of the Church, or in the Chancel, where Morning and Evening Prayer are appointed to be said. And the Priest standing at the North-side of the Table shall say the Lord's Prayer, with the Collect following, the people kneeling.

■(gj-* H^P1 OUR Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy ■—-a = Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Aud forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation ; But driivct as from evil. Amen-

Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them : for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, and visit the sins of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shew mercy unto thousands in them that love me, and keep my commandments.

THE COMMVSIOS.

Minister. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day. Rix •lays shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do ; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, thy cattle, and the strangei that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh lay : wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Minister. Honour thy father and thy mother ; that thy day3 may be long in the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Minister. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh- bour.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Minister. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.

JLj- Maker of heaven and earth, And of ai;

W 1M| things visible and invisible :

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one sub- stance with the Father, By whom all things were made : Who for us men, and for our salvation eame down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man, And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead : Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord and Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And 1 believe one Catholick and Apostolick Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the life of the world to come.

LET your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is b

o;:

heaven. St. Matth. v.

t 10 )

nib: commcxion.

Lay not up for yourselves treasure upon the earth; where I] rust and moth cloth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal : but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven ; where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal. St. Matth. vi.

Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you. even so do unto them; for this is the Law and the Prophets. St. Matth. vii.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven ; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. St. Matth. vii.

Zacchaeus stood forth, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor ; and if I have done any wrong to any man, I restore four-fold. St. Luke xix.

Who goeth a warfare at any time of his own cost ? Wrho planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock ? 1 Cor. ix.

If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your worldly things ? 1 Cor. ix.

Do ye not know, that they who minister about holy things live of the sacrifice ; and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar ? Even so hath the Lord also ordained, that they who preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel. 1 Cor. ix.

He that soweth little shall reap little ; and he that soweth plenteously shall reap plenteously. Let every man do according as he is disposed in his heart, not grudgingly, or of necessity ; for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. ix.

Let him that is taught in the Word minister unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived, God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap. Gal. vi.

While we have time, let us do good unto all men ; and specially unto them that are of the household of faith. Gal. vi.

Godliness is great riches, if a man be content with that he hath : for we brought nothing into the world, neither may we carry any thing out. 1 Tim. vi.

Charge them who are rich in this world, that they be ready to give, and glad to distribute ; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may attain eternal life. 1 Tim. vi.

God is not unrighteous, that he will forget your works, and abour that proceedeth of love ; which love ye have shewed for his Name's sake, who have ministered unto the saints, and yet do minister. Hebr. vi.

To do good, and to distribute, forget not; for with such sacrifices God ifc well pleased. Hebr. xiii.

( 11 )

THE COMMlWrON.

Whoso bath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the lev God in him ? 1 St. John iii.

Give alms of thy goods, and never turn thy face from any poor man ; and then the face of the Lord shall not be turned away from thee. Tobit iv.

H Wlien the Minister giveth warning for the celebration of the holy Communion, (which he shall always do upon the Sunday, or some Holy-day, immediately preceding .) after the Sermon or Homily ended, he shall read this Exhorta- tion following.

DEAELY beloved, on day next I purpose, through God's assistance, to administer to all such as shall be religiously and devoutly disposed the most comfortable Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ ; to be by them received in remembrance of hie meritorious Cross and Passion ; whereby alone we obtain remission of our sins, and are made partakers of the Kingdom of heaven. Wherefore it is our duty to render most humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God our heavenly Father, for that he hath given his Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, not only to die for us, but also to be our spiritual food and sustenance in that holy sacrament. Which being so divine and comfortable a thing to them who receive it worthily, and so dangerous to them that will presume to receive it unworthily ; my duty is to exhort you in the mean season to con- sider the dignity of that holy mystery, and the great peril of the unworthy receiving thereof; and so to search and examine your own consciences, (and that not lightly, and after the manner of dissemblers with God ; but so) that ye may come holy and clean to such a heavenly Feast, in the marriage-garment required by God in holy Scripture, and be received as worthy partakers of that holv Table.

The way and means thereto is ; First, to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of God's commandments ; and wherein- soever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended, either by will, word, or deed, there to bewail your own sinfulness, and to confess yourselves to Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life. And if ye shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only p.gainst God, but also against your neighbours ; then ye shall reconcile yourselves unto them ; being ready to make restitutioE

THE COMMl'M(L\.

m<l satisfaction, according to the uttermost of your powers, for e .1

injuries and wrongs done by you to any other: and being likewise ive others that nave offended yon, as ye would have I your offences at God's hand : for otherwise the

ring of the holy Communion doth nothing else but incn pour damnation. Therefore if any of you be a blasphemer of God an hinderer or slanderer of his Word, an adulterer, or be in malice,

ivy, or in any other grievous crime, repent you of your sins, o)

come not to that holy Table ; lest, after the taking of that boh the devil enter into you, as he entered into Judas, and till you full of all iniquities, and bring you to destruction both of body and soul.

And 'because it is requisite . thai no man should come to the horj Communion, but with a full trust in God's mercy, and with a quid

•ience; therefore if there be any of you, who by this mi cannot quiet his own conscience herein, but requireth further com- fort or counsel, let him come to me, or to some other discreet and of God's Word, and open his grief; that by the ministry of God's holy Word he may receive the benefit of a lution, together with ghostly counsel and advice, to the quieting of his conscience, and avoiding of all scruple and doubtfulness.

*1 Or, in ease he shall sec the people negligent to conic to the holy Coinmunvm. instead of the former, he shall use this Exhortation.

D; I loved brethren, on I intend, by God's grace, to celebrate the Lord's Supper : unto which, in God's behalf, 1 bid you all that are here present ; and beseech you, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, that ye will not refuse to come thereto, being so lovingly called and bidden by God himself. Ye know how rrrievous and unkind a thing it is, when a man hath prepared a rich least, decked his table with all kind of provision, so that there nothing but the guests to sit down; and yet they who are d (without any cause) most unthankfully refuse to come. Which of you in such a case would not be moved ? Who would not think a great injury and wrong done unto him? Wherefore, ; dearly beloved in Christ, take ye good heed, lest ye, with- drawing yourselves from this holy Supper, provoke God's indig- nation against you. It is an easy matter for a man to say, 1 will lioate, because I am otherwise hindered with worldly busini bs. But Buch excuses are not so easily accepted and allowed re God. If any man say, 1 am a grievous sinner, and therefore- afraid to come': wherefore then do ye not repent and amend? n (iod oalleth you, are ye not ashamed to say ye will not come? When ye should return to God, will ye excuse yourselves, and say ye are not ready? Consider earnestly with yourselves how little

( n )

THE COMMUNWS.

such feigned e Abuses will avail before God. They that refused the feast in the Gospel, because they had bought a farm, or would try their yokes of oxen, or because they were married, were not so excused, but counted unworthy of the heavenly feast. I, for mj part, shall be ready ; and, according to mine Office, I bid you in Name of God, L call you in Christ's behalf, I eznort you, as ye love your own salvation, that ye will be partakers of this holy Communion. And as the Son of God did vouchsafe to yield up hi^ 3oul by death upon the Cross for your salvation ; so it is your duty to receive the Communion in remembrance of the sacrifice of his death, as he himself hath commanded : which if ye shall neglect to do, consider with yourselves how great injury ye do unto God, and how sore punishment hangeth over your heads for the same ; when ?e wilfully abstain from the Lord's Table, and separate from your brethren, who come to feed on the banquet of that most heavenly food. These things if ye earnestly consider, ye will by God's grace return to a better mind : for the obtaining whereof we shall not cease to make our humble petitions unto Almighty God our heavenly Father.

1i At the time of the celebration of the Communion, the Communicants being conveniently placed for the receiving of the holy Sacrament, the Pries', shall say this Exhortation.

;~1HI DEAELY beloved in the Lord, ye that mind to come ~ ' _ to the holy Communion of the Body and Blood of our

Saviour Christ, must consider how Saint Paul exhorteth all persons diligently to try and examine themselves, before they presume to eat of that Bread, and drink of that Cup. For as the benefit is great, if with a true penitent heart and lively faith we receive that holy Sacrament ; (for then we spiritually eat the flesh of Christ, and drink his blood ; then we dwell in Christ, and Christ in us ; we are one with Christ, and Christ with us ;) so is the danger great, if we receive the same' unworthily. For then we are guilty of the Body and Blood of Christ our Saviour ; we eat and drink our own damnation, not considering the Lord's Body ; we kindle God's wrath against us ; we provoke him to plague us with divers diseases, and sundry kinds of death. Judge therefore yourselves, i rethren, that ye be not judged of the Lord ; repent you truly for your sins past ; have a lively and steadfast faith in Christ our Saviour ; amend your lives, and be in perfect charity with all men ; so shall ye be meet partakers of those holy mysteries. And abov all things ye must give most humble and hearty thanks to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, for the redemption of the world by the death and passion of our Saviour Christ, both God and man ; who did humble himself, even to the death upon the

Crose, for us, miserable Burners, who lay in darkness and the shadow of death ; that he might make us the children of God. a 1 exalt us to everlasting life. And to the end that we should alway remember the exceeding great love of our Master, and only Saviour, is Christ, thus dying for us, and the innumerable benefits which by his precious blood-shedding he hath obtained to us ; he bath instituted and ordained holy mysteries, as pledges of his love, and for a continual remembrance of his death, to our great and endless comfort. To him therefore, with the o ft Father and the Holy Ghost, let us give (as we are most bounden) continual thanks ; submit- ting ourselves wholly to his holy will and pleasure, ^ m™' and studying to serve him in true holiness and -ftg^; —— righteousness all the days of our life.

^ Then shall the Priest say to them that come to receive the holy Communion,

^I Then shall this general Confession be made, in the name of all those that arc minded to receive the holy Communion, by one of the Ministers ; both ka and all the people kneeling humbly upon their knees, and saying,

THE COMMUMOX.

*1 Collects to be said ajtcr the Offertory, when there is nv Communion, ncn such day one or ynorc ; and the same may be said also, as often as occation sJiall serve, after the Collects either of Morning or Evening Prayer, Com- munion, or Litany, by the discretion of the Minister.

VSSIST us mercifully, 0 Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation ; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

0 ALMIGHTY Lord, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy com- mandments ; that through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul ; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

GBANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God, that the words, which we have heard this day with our outward ears, may through thy grace be so grafted inwardly in our hearts, that they may bring forth in us the fruit of good living, to the honour and praise of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

I PREVENT us, 0 Lord, in all our doings with thy most gracious favour, and further us with thy continual help; that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy Name, and finally by thy mercy obtain everlasting life ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ALMIGHTY God, the fountain of all wisdom, who knowest oui necessities before we ask, and our ignorance in asking ; We beseech thee to have compassion upon our infirmities ; and those things, which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blind- ness we cannot ask, vouchsafe to give us, for the worthiness of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

VLMIGHTY God, who hast promised to hear the petitions of tin in that ask in thy Son's Name ; We beseech thee mercifully to incline thine ears to us that have made now our prayers and suppli- cations unto thee ; and grant, that those things, which we have faithfully asked according to thy will, may effectually be obtained to the relief of our necessity, and to the setting forth of thy glory ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE COMMUNION.

Zbe Gonce for the Collect, Epistle, an& (Sospcl/

THE COLLECTS.

The Festival Tone is used at Mattins, Evensong, and celebration of the Holy Communion on all Sundays, Holy-days, and Com- memorations.

In the example given, it will be observed that there are two inflections; the first, Fa, Mi, Re, Fa, called the Punctual Princi- pale ; the second, Fa, Mi, called the Semipunctum. Care must be taken that the Collect itself, or the body of the Collect, be distinguished from the conclusion. The Collect generally consists of two, three, or more members; but whatever number of members there may be, the Punctum and Semipunctum are only used once each in the same Collect, and once in the conclusion of the Collect.

At the end of the first member or clause the Punctum is placed ; the Semipunctum closes the second member, which frequently begins with the word "Grant," or " Grant, we beseech Thee." If the Collect concludes with " Through Jesus Christ our Lord," e.g.t Collect for Ash Wednesday,! or with, "Who livest and reignest" (without " Through Jesus Christ"), e.g., first Sunday in Lent, I the Semipunctum is omitted, and the Punctum only is used.

Ghost, one God, world with - out end. A - men.

The Ferial Tone is used on Simples and Ferias, and at Burials, and has no inflections : the Collect is sung on one note throughout, c.;i.. Fa. However, there is an inflection allowed on Ferias when many prayers have heen said, e.g., at the last prayer of Mattins, Evensong, and the Litany. It is on the penultimate syllable from Fa to Re.

THE EPISTLE.

The Epistle is sung on one note, e.g., Fa.* There is an inflection, when an interrogation occurs, e.g., Epistle for Christmas Day.

Thou art my Son, this day have I be -trot - ten Thee? And a - gain, g 1 m~ m * -iz ^ ■_■■■■•■ ~^~"^ [J" I will be to Him a Fa - ther, and Tie shall be to me a Son,

The fourth syllabic before a period is much prolonged, e.g.

And an inflection on the fourth syllable, or nearest important to that from the end, e.g.

*S— *-

THE GOSPEL.

The Gospel admits of an inflection from the dominant to a third below, e.g., Fa to lie, on the fourth* syllable from a period. t Also before an interrogation, as in the Epistle, and on the fifth syllable from the end, J as e.g., in the Gospel for Christmas Day.

The Holy Gospel is written in the First Chapter of the Holy Gospel according to Saint John.

EXTRACT FROM EDITORS' PREFACE.

The inconvenience and costliness of the number of separate Books usually requisite for the members of a Choir, in the performance of an ordinary Choral Service, have long pointed to the desirableness of a manual which should, as far as possible, unite under one cover all that is necessary for the choral rendering of, at least, those portions of the Church's Services which are less liable to variation.

The Music of the Versicles and Responses Festal as well as Ferial a Psalter and Canticles pointed for chanting, are almost indispensable for the careful and accurate rendering of a Choral Service. And yet, hitherto, it has been scarcely possible to procure these, unless in separate numbers; involving not only much additional expense, but also the disadvantage arising from the continual shifting of books during service time, which is such a hindrance to a devout participation in Divine Worship.

To remedy these evils, and to assist in promoting, as it is hoped, a more careful and reverent performance of the Divine Offices, the Cathedral Prayer Book has been compiled.

The Editors are fully aware that they are not the first to make an effort in this direction. But they believe that several circumstances have tended to favour their attempt, and ensure its success, which have been wanting in other instances.

This manual provides not only for the daily Morning and Evening Prayer, and the choral celebra- tion of the Holy Communion, in all its completeness, but also for the whole of the occasional Offices contained in the Book of Common Prayer. A special feature of it, moreover, is that it includes an Appendix, in which are contained not only Tallis's Festival Responses and Litany, but a great deal of other additional and miscellaneous matter which it is conjectured will add greatly to its usefulness and value.

The pointing of the Psalms and Canticles is after that known as the Cathedral Psalter, edited by the Rev. S. Flood-Jones, the late Mr. James Turle, the Rev. Dr. Troutbeck, Sir John Stainer, and Mr. Joseph Barnby.

An edition can also be had in which the Cathedral Psalter Chants to the Canticles and the Psalms are included.
