Includes all required reader/choir materials for Great Compline in the first week of Lent and Matins on the fifth Thursday. Features black print with red rubrical directions.
This volume entirely eliminates the need to use multiple books during these services. All material is printed in full in the place where it occurs in the service, so singers do not need to flip back to the Great Compline portion during fifth Thursday Matins.
