First publication of Finzi's orchestral versions of: Lo, the full, final sacrifice op 26 - festival anthem for chorus & orchestra (14 minutes); Magnificat op 36 - for soloists (ad lib), chorus & orchestra (9 minutes); God is gone up op 27 - anthem for chorus, string orchestra & organ (4 minutes); Let us now praise famous men op 35 - choral song for tenors & basses (or sopranos & altos), string orchestra & piano (3 minutes). The first three works as listed are, in their original organ versions, established in the English cathedral repertoire. Lo, the full, final sacrifice was orchestrated for the 1947 Gloucester Three Choirs Festival, thus bringing the work into the mainstream British choral society repertoire. The preface by Andrew Burn (Finzi Trust) gives details of the commission, composition and orchestration of each work.
