Edition notes: This edition is set at the original written pitch, suitable for SATB. It has been made by an Ayleward scholar, from the original 17th-century parts, correcting some errors present in many modern editions. In keeping with Ayleward’s express intent for the service, this edition also includes a Lord’s Prayer and a set of Final Responses. These are contrafacta of Ayleward’s own music, taken from other portions of his Short Service.
