This work for soprano solo and SATB chorus was commissioned by the Norwich Festival of Contemporary Church Music.Tavener:'In the Orthodox Church the Lament of the Mother of God is normally sung on Holy and Great Friday. Inits full length it lasts about half and hour and it is intoned by the Priest or Bishop while the people venerate the Epitaphios (or Shroud of the Dead Christ) which is in the centre of the church and decorated withflowers.The Lament must be sung with an ikon-like stillness and great purity. It grows in intensity as it climbs in tessitura but without anything sudden or remotely melodramatic.For the Orthodox Church there is never thesense of absolute desolation felt by the Western Church on Good Friday. Hence the cry of the Mother of God 'Dost thou change my grief to gladness by thy Resurrection?' followed by the full forces: 'Rise O God and judge theearth.'Mother of God also features in the film Philomena starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan and directed by Stephen Frears.

The Veil of the Temple is a journey from darkness into light. Care and attention has been given to the key chosen for each anthem and to the voicings, so that these versions are attractive to the broadest possible range of amateur as well as professional singers. The breathtakingly simple Mother Of God, here I stand and the quietly ecstatic Awed by the Beauty are for unaccompanied chorus. The remaining three anthems are scored with Organ accompaniment: the sonorous You mantle yourself in light - the contemplative What God is we do not know and the radiant O Mary Theotokos. / Chant Et Piano / 32 pages / Partition

Incredible poetry. Beautiful music. The talents of J. Paul Williams and Joseph Martin are combined once again to create the lovely and profound God Chose Us. The wonderfully picturesque images of Williams' text examine theawesome wonders of creation and the power of the Almighty. But before all of that before the very foundation of the earth was laid before God said “Let there be light!” – we had been chosen to be His children.Think about that. It is almost unfathomable. God Chose Us – a sermon in song about divine mystery. This thought-provoking anthem must not be missed.
