Nunc dimittis in B flat (Vocal score)

for SSATBB unaccompaniedThis setting of the Nunc Dimittis was written for Westminster Cathedral and first performed at Compline on Easter Day 1916.

In concerts it could be contrasted with the Latin settings by Howells and Holst, and in services it could partner Stanford's eight-part Magnificat.

It would also be appropriate for Candelmas celebrations.
