"This is perhaps Parsley’s best-known work in the modern day. It is an expansive setting of the Lamentations for five voices, setting three verses from the second chapter. It is still performed regularly in sacred worship. In the manner of John Sheppard, this setting contains a cantus firmus throughout, singing the chant suitable for the text. Unusually, this cantus firmus is found in the uppermost part, and not in the tenor or bass parts, as was more common at the time."
