Not only is this a most apposite collection to appear at this time, but it has also been edited with scrupulous care, and will surely remain the standard edition for years to come.

O autorze

William Boyce was an English composer and organist of the late Baroque period. Boyce was a chorister at St Pauls Cathedral from 1719, following which he studied music with the composer Maurice Greene. Boyce was then employed as the Organist of the Oxford Chapel in London (1734-6) and in 1757 became Master of the King's Musick and one of the organists at the Chapel Royal, where he wrote compositions for many significant royal occasions. His compositional output includes Anglican choral music, sacred operas and theatre works, organ music, instrumental chamber music including Eight Symphonies in Eight Parts (1760) and 12 Trio Sonatas (1747). His collection Cathedral Music, begun by his teacher Greene but completed by Boyce, contains many notable sacred works that are still performed today.
