This is a calm, reflective piece inspired by a visit to Durham Cathedral. It sets the poem by the Venerable Bede which is inscribed over his tomb. Written for unaccompanied choir, it features a prominent Soprano line over sustained chords in other parts. Its meditative quality comes from measured repetitions of the text. It is very much accessible by a choir which is confident is sustaining and tuning chords.
The piece has been recorded by Sonoro, directed by Neil Ferris and can be accessed via YouTube or Spotify.
