The sublime harmonies of this piece were released on the album 'A Tender Light' that also featured his piece composed for the Royal Wedding.

Featuring a Piano part for rehearsal only the unaccompanied soaring of the choir will make a truly lasting impression on any audience. In the September 2015 issue of the Organists' Review DavidLindley writes that this piece 'encompasses a wide dynamic range and some high tessitura for sopranos as the music celebrates 'Mary purest maid' contrasting with the slow-moving chordal setting of the rest of the text.'

All the parts have interesting vocal lines the drama is constant and the lyrics are inspiring - a unique and powerful arrangement! Available for SSAA. Performance Time: Approx. 2:45.
