Edward Lambert has worked with many singers and choirs.

His Mass for Four Voices was chosen by the SPNM for performance at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in 1984 where it was sung by Rosemary Hardy, Linda Hurst, Martyn Hill and Stephen Varcoe. It was recorded by the BBC and later broadcast in the series Music In Our Time.

 

Pange Lingua, written while studying with John Lambert at the Royal College of Music, is a short, virtuosic setting of the text by St Thomas Aquinas.

 

The Te Deum is for choir (rather than solo voices) and piano.

 

A Meditation on a Ruin is a setting of the Anglo-Saxon text The Ruin in the original Old English (using a transliteration that will not be hard for singers to use).

 

There is also a group of works suitable for liturgical use and a few songs.
