Written for a service in Leicester Cathedral to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Central Composers' Alliance in 2020, which in the event had to be cancelled because of the covid-19 epidemic, this setting of the evensong canticles has, for the most part, a deliberately spare and understated organ accompaniment, allowing the voices room for clarity and expression. The vocal part is mostly a single line, but splits into two antiphonal parts at significant moments in the text.
