Simple to perform, it is written for various combinations of singers and instruments. There are many amateur ‘Quires’ devoted to it who often dress in period costume.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">This afternoon’s event is also an opportunity to view the University of Southampton’s psalmody collection.
