- Edition notes: Created as a user-friendly alternative to the original wartime edition. Bairstow’s gentle 1940 setting of the Evensong canticles is published as ‘Evening Service in G’ yet at no point has a key signature of one sharp. The music is in fact modal and, in this editor’s opinion, is as beautiful as it is unusual. The intention in creating this edition was simply to overcome some difficulties arising from the layout of the original with the voice parts mostly in short score, and the complex organ part on two staves, perhaps due to wartime austerity. However, the need for some editorial decision-making became apparent during type-setting. The single source is the original 1940 edition by Oxford University Press. A handful of obvious errors are corrected without comment, and cautionary accidentals freely added.
