¶ Common Worship: Daily Prayer — the new Anglican Breviary

Miscellenia

This page is for links to various things unrelated to the breviary, mainly to papers and music I have written and to anything else that takes my fancy. The primary links are to plain or gzipped Postscript® files and are designed for outputting directly to a Postscript® printer for high-quality output. If you don't what to do with gzip files, or with Postscript® files if you do manage to get the gzip archive open, the link to the Adobe Acrobat PDF® version at the end of each abstract is the one you should be using.

• Compline hymn: ferial melody. If you want to sing the hymn at Compline to a traditional Sarum plainchant melody, this file has it typeset to the ferial melody in the Eighth Tone. It is suitable for every day except Sundays and major festivals, when you should be singing the festal melody (below). I typeset this hymn with Lilypond, using the Edition Vaticana context for decent plainchant output.
  There's also an Adobe Acrobat PDF® version, which is probably the one you want to download if you don't know what to do with Postscript®.
• Compline hymn: festal melody. This is the festal melody for singing on Sundays and festivals. It is quite a lot more ornate than the simple ferial melody.
  There's also an Adobe Acrobat PDF® version, which is probably the one you want to download if you don't know what to do with Postscript®.
• Morals and penance: punishing vice in East Anglia on the eve of the sixteenth century (this is a gzipped, font-embedded, Postscript® file)
  A look at the punishment of immorality and vice in East Anglia at the close of the fifteenth century, with examples taken from the visitation of 1499 of the vacant see of Norwich, recorded in the Episcopal Register of Cardinal John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury. The paper contrasts the self-righteous attitude towards morality of many of today's Christians with the surprisingly humane attitude to its punishment on the eve of the sixteenth century.
  There's also an Adobe Acrobat PDF® version, which is probably the one you want to download if you don't know what to do with Postscript®.

These files are, of course, entirely optional, so feel free to ignore them.
