hosting a visiting choir

We aren’t on the visiting choir circuit (the last one to come I think was a joint effort 11 years ago), but we did have a guest choir at the end of the summer break, Suzi Digby’s Voce Chamber Choir (Suzi had attended a service at the church a few months ago). As well as motets by Walton (Set me as a seal again!), Stanford and Becky McGlade, there was something we don’t usually have: a mass setting including the Gloria. This was by Lassus, and some enquiries afterwards established it was his Missa Octavi Toni. I was surprised to find out how many Mass settings he’d composed, because I’ve never sung any of them!
