Eckdahl	Herbert Howells: Educational Music, Texture, Equal Voices, and the Gloucester Magnificat	2022		.txt	text/plain	281	7	25	Thus, a quintessential piece of Howells' mature church music was significantly influenced by the educational music, and there is now a musical explanation to contribute to the current explanations of this moment and the larger matter of Howells' arrival as a master composer of church music. The much-discussed opening of the Magnificat dedicated to Gloucester Cathedral is a display of Howells' mastery of expressive use of texture, a novel use of three-part, equal-voice counterpoint in his church music, and a stylistic culmination that combines use of texture, expectation, and idiom with the incorporation of lesser-known practices associated with educational music.	cache/bv73bz63m59.txt	txt/bv73bz63m59.txt
