Description: To those familiar with Carols for Choirs 2 (Oxford, 1970), this Nunc dimittis (and not a Magnificat stated in Carols for Choirs 2) - and the plainsong tone upon which it is based - was used as the musical material for an arrangement of the Matin Responsory by David Willcocks and John Rutter. The principal material from which the arrangement of the Matin Responsory is taken is from the two halves of verse (2.) and the first half of verse (4.) with some adaptations.
