Lord, For Thy Tender Mercy’s Sake – SATB – Choral Score

English Renaissance composer Richard Farrant (d. 1580) is not well-known in the US, which is exactly why Dr. Peter Aston selected a study of his music for his Editorial series. True to academic form, several pages of notes, sources, procedures and commentary are provided to insure the performer an authentic enactment. While the treatment of the text is certainly lovely, it is the closing ”amens” that provide the musical reward.
