Double chant in E major

John Camidge’s Double Chant in E major is suitable for regular services in cathedrals and parish churches. This substantial setting offers a rich opportunity for the choir, scored for SATB voices. Anglican chants were developed in England during the 16th century and remain a cornerstone of cathedral music today. This example, in E major, provides a clear and noble framework for the daily offices or other liturgical occasions. The double-chant form allows for a more expansive musical setting compared to its single-chant counterpart, enabling a fuller expression of the text. It is a fine example of the genre, well-suited for a choir looking to expand its repertoire of liturgical music.
