    All the best,

    That descant is really neat, even though it’s simple. I like it.

    Very nice.
    The simplified Anglican chant is sung right well and is really good.
    (I don't know if AC was on your mind when writing this - maybe not. There are some simplified chants in The Hymnal 1982 that are quite similar to yours.
    Also! You should be proud of your choir - very nice singing.

    (I detected but one out standing fault - Namely accomplished by the cantor - - -
    namely, why that consistent singing of 'Lord' in the responsory as if it had at least two extended syllables, eg. Law---rrrd. Some little work would fix this 'R's should always be suppressed [unless one is mimicking some America dialect[)

    The cantor (yours truly) is guilty as charged. Being American, however, there's little doubt some bad habits have crept in lol!

    [Aside: You haven't lived until you've heard the words "Our Father" in 4 syllables! Ow-er far-thur. Imagine a mid-western accent, to boot.]

    You ain't heard nothin' until you hear "Bill" pronounced as three syllables ("Bee-ih-ul") in a low Tidewater drawl.

    Liam,

    Tidewater Virginia, or further down the coast?

    (I used to live in North Carolina, so....)
