John Sheppard's "Lord's Prayer".
This Tudor musician was another professional musician who felt the swirl of the changes. He lived from 1515 to 1559.
This music works for Cathedral and Collegiate foundations: the Cathedral tradition which survived in Anglicanism. It works where parishes unite to pool resources. The centrifugal forces of spin-offs inhibits such works, but, fortunately, universities continue the research and production of such works.
It could not survive or be replicated in smaller contexts: villages, towns, or smaller urban units.
Or, it will never survive in American Hillbilly circles. For these "strummers, drummers, and gummers," this transcends their small and limited imaginations.
My home parish, Mariners' Anglican, was and has been able, however, to maintain this level of musical skill in divine worship. Mariners' is a top-rate Anglican Church...a rarity in that it maintains orthodox theology too along with the old Prayer Book.
