First Service, V, Te, Bs, Ma, N

OUP, C.F.Simkins, ed, CMSR 45 (1963) (Ma & N)

In GB-Ym MSS M. 13/1–2 and 4–5 (S) this service comprises also a setting of the Apostles’ Creed, of which the Nicene Creed attached to Tallis’s Mass for Four Voices is an adaptation.

Despite the unusually ‘low’ cleffing (F5 C5 C4 C3), this service is designated ‘for meanes’ in GB-Ym MS M. 13/5 (S).
