Publisher Desc.  The funeral sentences from the Book of Common Prayer, Rite 1, are given simple settings that may be performed by small choirs. The ranges are limited both to avoid uncomfortable higher notes and to respect the character of the opening of the funeral liturgy. The harmonies are lush, expressive, and easy for the singers to find through largely step-wise motion. The accompaniments are also simple and can be performed either on piano or organ. Suitable for: funerals, Lent, Easter season, general
