Nunc Dimittis Tone 15

Peter Tranchell's 'Tone 15' Nunc Dimittis arrangement ('arr. P.A.T. 1976') is missing from the holdings in the Cambridge University Library, however a copy has been obtained from the Gonville & Caius College Music Library.

The work does not appear as such in The Caian's records relating to Choir and Music in the Chapel, which suggests it was never used, however the fact that our surviving copy is marked "in 4" and "Precentor" strongly implies a performance.

It has been observed that the melodies appear to quote Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg, Act 2, Den Tag seh’ich erscheinen.

A scan of the original is presented here for study purposes only.
