About Final Responses
Edward Woodall Naylor's Final Responses are a set of liturgical acclamations for SATB choir, sung in English. They serve as versicles and responses, traditionally used in Anglican services to lead into prayers. The text offers two distinct settings: one for normal (Ferial) occasions, and another for more festive celebrations, reflecting the varying solemnity of church festivals. The music sets the words of supplication and thanksgiving, such as "The Lord be with you" and "Let us bless the Lord", in a way suitable for congregational participation through the choir's leadership.
