Propriety

 

Walmisley is remembered chiefly for his Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in D minor, which have a place in the Anglican choral repertoire. He also composed numerous Anglican chants still in general use. -- Wikipedia

Thomas Attwood Walmisley wrote

   Music for a high church setting,

Chants and anthems which denote

   Sacred things and proper vetting,

With liturgy, a proper choir,

   Proper solemn English faces,

And the service sung entire

   In proper neo-Gothic spaces.
