Notes:
There are two versions of Antiphon, one for SATB chorus, and the alternative solo version, which is the only one included here. Easter and Love bade me welcome also have chorus in them, which is simply omitted when singing them as solo numbers, with one slight alteration in the solo line in the former.
The Call is a popular number for weddings and church services in the US.
