St Patrick's Eucharist

This setting of the BCP 2004 Common Worship Eucharist service is a popular choice for choirs and congregations with more modest resources. However, the quality of writing is maintained with a unison voice congregational part, optional four-part choir harmony and organ or piano accompaniment. Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei are included with Final Amen, Gospel Responses and Eucharist Acclamations. An optional treble instrumental part is included for the Gloria, which would sound glorious on the trumpet!
