The rhythm of 16th-century music has been rendered quite unintelligible to modern readers and singers by the system of regular barring in modern scores. The publications of The Kirkhope Choir Magazine present the scores of 16th-century masterpieces sung by the choir at the concerts of the Reid Orchestra, and a system of barring is adopted which for the first time on record reveals the natural flow of the rhythm independently in each part.
Inside the back cover of the programme is listed the sketch programmes for the remainder of the series.
