CE Chapel of the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London [L] 4.x.23

[Magister Chori]

Richard Lloyd wrote two full choir sets of Responses ( a long time apart), plus an ATB set and another for trebles, in the 90s.

The one included in this broadcast was the 1st setting for SATB. His 2nd setting - published by Encore - is absolutely gorgeous: https://youtu.be/nL_RiFMVMzk?si=FnCB5tW04DC4Zrd5

A while ago I remember singing a fairly straightforward (verse repeating?) piece by Lloyd, which had a Lenten or 'Miserere' type message. Very effective. Can anyone remember what piece I'm referring to?

Maybe this one? (actually for Advent, not for Lent): https://youtu.be/lDSSGTv4S9Q?si=l2dUb9IargnV-Xs1

The 3rd Amen in his 2nd set is one of my all-time favourites, as is the whole setting of the Responses.

The other piece I by him which I often sing (it's a go-to for funerals at my church when we can just manage to cover 4 part choir but no more) is 'View me, Lord', which is strophic but not particularly Lenten.

The 3rd Amen in his 2nd set is one of my all-time favourites, as is the whole setting of the Responses.

They are exceedingly fine.

They are exceedingly fine.

Fans of Lloyd's second setting of the Responses might care to note that they were sung on last week's broadcast from Portsmouth.

I'm a bit sorry that this broadcast hasn't been kept on BBC Sounds for the usual 30 days after the Sunday repeat (which wasn't a repeat in this case). I was looking forward to hearing it again before it disappeared.
