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.

[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-

unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and
shew mercy unto thousands in them that love me, and keep my

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

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.

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

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.

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
Stainer.— Choir R'-.k.— Noveilo- B ( \:\ )
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.
PH=P
<o»
^ Then shall the Priest say to them that come to receive the holy Communion,
"sgjft INI ^ YE that do truly and earnestly repent you of your
z= sins, and are in love and charity with your neigh-
bours, and intend to lead a new life, following the commandments
of God, and walking from henceforth in his holy ways ; Draw near
with faith, and take this holy Sacrament to your comfort ; and
make your humble confession to Almighty God, meekly kneeling
upon your knees.
^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,

0 LORD and heavenly Father, we thy humble servants
entirely desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to
accept this our oacrifice of praise and thanksgiving ; most humbly
beseeching thee to grant, that by the merits and death of thy Son
Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we and all thy whole
Church may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of
his passion. And here we offer and present unto thee, 0 Lord,
ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and lively
sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee, that all we, whc
are partakers of this holy Communion, may be fulfilled wit!
thy grace and heavenly benediction. And although we be
unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any
sacrifice, yet we beseech thee to accept this our
bounden duty and service ; not weighing our
merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus
Christ our Lord ; by whom, and with whom, in
the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be
unto thee, 0 Father Almighty, world without end.

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 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.

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,

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

from the end, J as e.g., in the Gospel for Christmas Day.

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.
