Programme Note

Texts selected by Dr Nicholas Fisher from The Venerable Bede's A History of the English Church and People and commissioned for the Merton Choirbook to celebrate the 750th anniversary of the founding of Merton College, Oxford in 1264. The texts have been designed as a single work but can be performed as separate and independent items.

Penguin translation of Bede by Leo Sherley-Price (Penguin Books, 1955).
