Bullocks terrorize household

A newspaper story paraphrased by Peter Tranchell in the style of a psalm, pointed to be sung to Anglican chants by H. S. Oakely & John Foster, originally arranged for TBrBB. From Carmen cotidianum. no. 1. The piece features on the commemoration CD, recorded in 2005 by a choir of alumni.  The recording features significant pauses at the commas, reflecting the chanting style under PAT's direction.

The "psalm" concludes:

Story│be · from the│Guardian,
   And from the Sun,│and · from the│Morning│Post;
What they wrote in the beginning, ain't true, and│never│shall be,
   Distorted for│ever · and│ever, · by │men.

A typeset version for SATB (arranged by C. Flower 26th December 2018) can be obtained here or by clicking on the image below.

A typeset version closer to the original for TBrBB, with minor revisions suggested in July 2019 by some original performers, can be obtained here.
