Dedicated to The Revd Jane Baxter of The Lyddington Benefice – The Parishes of Bisbrooke, Caldecott, Glaston, Harringworth, Lyddington, Stoke Dry, Seaton and Thorpe by Water.

Settings, in English, of responses from The Order for the Celebration of the Holy Communion, from the Common Worship Services of the Church of England.

This collection can be used as appropriate — some responses can be omitted musically, if the occasion demands, and spoken instead.

The set uses responses from all alternatives of the Eucharistic Prayers A–H. For accomplished church choirs, the SATB harmonisations will enhance a service; alternatively, the melody line can be simply sung in unison with organ accompaniment.

The organ can either double the choral parts, or where appropriate, be omitted altogether. Some responses are provided with a brief organ introduction to establish pitch, and should be used.
