Henschel's O salutaris Hostia was originally issued as an appendix to his Missa ad octo voces inaequales, Op. 65 originally published in 1920 by the London firm of Bayley & Ferguson. This was not the work's first outing, however. In 1918, Bailey & Ferguson published a setting of this mass in English (Communion Service: Mass in C, for Eight Voices a Cappella, Op. 65), where it was also published as an appendix. The only difference between the 1918 and 1920 editions is the bass underlay in bars 9-10; we have reproduced the later version here.
