Robert W. Lehman has become known in recent years for his contribution to the musical life of the Episcopal church. This set of Preces and Responses will certainly only enhance that reputation. Set in the key of A-Flat, the responses feature supple meter changes, based on the rhythm of the text. The musical lines are simple, yet not without interesting harmonic and rhythmic color. for parishes that regularly perform the service of Evensong, this work will be an attractive addition to the repertory. |
