The links will connect you to pages that provide some historical notes about each hymn, as well as a piano rendition of each.
Our Sequence hymn throughout Lent is an Anglican chant setting of Psalm 51:1-13. You may listen to it here, and download a copy of the music.
The Offertory anthem in this service is Miserere mei, Deus (“Have mercy on me, O God”), a setting of the first verse of Psalm 51 by William Byrd. The Communion motet is Byrd’s setting of the 14th-century eucharistic hymn, Ave verum corpus.
