Originally it was in response to a call for scores from the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music. They suggested that composers may also submit organ works, which I did. The organ work was accepted, while the choral piece was not. C'est la vie.

     If you are a church musician, you may be interested to know that the bass line in the SATB version is based loosely on the soprano line from the Nunc Dimittis of Orlando Gibbons - a suggestion of a cantus firmus.

     For the two trio versions, I have dropped that cantus firmus and re-worked the remaining voices to accommodate tenor or baritone voices. Of the three, I think I prefer the third - SAB/piano - which was premièred at a Lenten concert in Vienna which had had to be postponed because of Covid-19

     If you feel your group might like to perform any of these settings, please send me an email (below). All that I ask is that you inform me of performances so that I can keep this website up-to-date. Have fun!
