The Introit is “Behold , the Tabernacle of God” by William Harris who served as Organist and Choirmaster at St. George’s Chapel Windsor from 1933 to 1962. The Canticles are Stanford’s setting in B flat. In 1877 Stanford was appointed organist of Trinity College Cambridge and two years later he composed the service in B flat as the first of several. He set the traditional liturgical Anglican texts in English, as part of his efforts to improve singing at the College Chapel. The Anthem is the beautiful “Cantique de Jean Racine” composed by Gabriel Fauré at the age of nineteen.
