Series: Scores/Books
Publisher: Boosey and Hawkes

Format: Softcover
Composer: Gerald Finzi

First publication of Finzi's orchestral versions of: Lo, the full, final sacrifice op 26 - festival anthem for chorus and orchestra (14 minutes); Magnificat op 36 - for soloists (ad lib), chorus and orchestra (9 minutes); God is gone up op 27 - anthem for chorus, string orchestra and organ (4 minutes); Let us now praise famous men op 35 - choral song for tenors and basses (or sopranos and altos), string orchestra and piano (3 minutes).

The first three works as listed are, in their original organ versions, established in the English cathedral repertoire. Lo, the full, final sacrifice was orchestrated for the 1947 Gloucester Three Choirs Festival, thus bringing the work into the mainstream British choral society repertoire. The preface by Andrew Burn (Finzi Trust) gives details of the commission, composition and orchestration of each work.
