While the history and context of the veneration of saints has been extensively studied, the aim of these volumes, drawing on the lifetime's expertise of the editor, is to enhance our knowledge of the melodies, to facilitate comparison between cycles, and to make possible a better appreciation of their character and relation both to one another and to older parts of the chant repertory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEECM 70 continues and completes the overview of chant for the offices of English saints, from Oswald of Northumbria to Wulfstan of Winchester, and concludes with an Index of incipits for all items in the three-volume collection. of especial note are the cycles for St Thomas Becket of Canterbury, and of his Translation, for William of York, and the 12 responsory organa of GB-Ccc 473 for the office of Swithun of Winchester. in contrast, the single surviving hymn for Wulfhilda of Barking offers the shortest musical entry of the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOswald of Northumbria (I, II)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOswald of Worcester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOswin of Deira\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePancras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter the Apostle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Wych of Chichester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwithun of Winchester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Becket of Canterbury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslation of Thomas Becket of Canterbury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Cantilupe of Hereford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilliam of York\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWulfhilda of Barking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWulfstan of Worcester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stainer \u0026 Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45309988470863,"sku":"EC70","price":175.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/57c6940cecec37f1c9fbeb03c0fbc772.jpg?v=1779814476","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/english-saints-offices-volume-3-stainer","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
