George J. Elvey in Ascot - late 19th Century
from Life and Reminiscences of Sir George J. Elvey, pages 284-285:
The crowning pleasure, after dinner, before lighter music commenced, was to hear the grand strains of "Non nobis Domine" an old grace by Byrde, composed about 1590. On this piece Sir George counted for days beforehand; and once,
when Mr. Hunt asked him if they should sing it, he replied quickly, "Oh ! yes, by all means ; I was singing it all day yesterday in anticipation"
