About this arrangement

SATB solo voices, SSAATTBB choir SKU: C4.9790-902250474 Composed by George Henschel. Edited by Daniel Mitterdorfer and Harold Fabrikant. Score. Crescendo Music Publications #9790-902250474. Published by Crescendo Music Publications (C4.9790-902250474). ISBN 9790902250474.Our source for the present edition of his Missa ad octo voces inaequales, Op. 65 is that issued in 1920 by the London firm of Bayley & Ferguson. This was not the work's first outing, however. In 1918, Bailey & Ferguson published a setting of this mass in English (Communion Service: Mass in C, for Eight Voices a Cappella, Op. 65, also published by Crescendo Music Publications), with movements ordered according to the Prayer Book. Perhaps to allow the work a larger audience, Henschel slightly modified the music to fit the Latin syllabification and reordered the movements, but essentially the work is as it was two years earlier.Our edition includes a full list of editorial changes and corrections. Also available is a version which omits the Credo, for churches where it is sung congregationally.
