for SATB (with Alto solo) and organ

Written for the charity Help Musicians for the festival of St Cecilia and premiered by the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, and St Paul's Cathedral, this anthem presents an imaginative setting of Francis Pott's well-known hymn 'Angel voices ever ringing' in triple metre. Characterful and contrasting organ writing underpins the melodically and rhythmically interesting vocal lines, and an Alto solo in the fourth verse provides textural contrast.
