EECM 23/appendix no. 6

This anthem was given two separate entries in SECM: ‘Anthem for St George’s Feast’ (the title given in GB-Ojc MS 181) and ‘O how happy a thing it is (II)’. Its organ part (GB-Ob MS Tenbury 791, f. 486) was mistakenly listed with the sources for another setting of the same text attributed to Giles and entered as ‘O how happy a thing it is (I)’. The latter is in fact a contrafactum of Giles’s anthem O Lord, of whom I do depend.
