William Smith

Preces and Responses

There seems to be several "versions" of William Smith's "Preces and Responses". The one here, though, is taken from the Church Music Society's Reprint No. 48a.

There is an excellent performance of this Work by Westminster Abbey Choir on YouTube starting here. It includes a sung Lord's Prayer ( a version by Robert Stone).

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work:-

Give us peace, ... Because there is none other ...
O God, make clean our hearts ... And take not thy Holy Spirit ...

That's the end of the Work.
