Composition Note. Neil Aspland's excellent 6 part actually contains all 144 crus in 4416 changes but has no 8765s at the back or 5678s or 6578s off the front. This version retains the basic six part, with just the 2 underlined leads changed, then has additions to obtain more [5678] music both at the front and at the back.
