2. Verily, verily I say unto you
3. Gloria Patri
Number 1. is his most famous anthem, written in English as decreed by King Henry VI.
Number 2, also an anthem, but to be used during the Anglican communion service.
Number 3, Gloria Patri is a Doxology or short hymn of praise to God used by Catholics and high Anglicans.
These three short works total about 3 1/2 minutes in length.
The music is appropriate for moderately advanced performers, the first player should have a good high C (the first part is in tenor clef).
