The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke-Scored for chorus children's choir organ and chamber orchestra St Luke Passion adopts a pared-back focus on choral voices over its 75-minute span. Seeking a more spiritual inward approach to match Luke s text the composer eschews settings of interpolated texts as arias and the customary Evangelist and Christ soli: everything is sung by choral forces. A children's choir grants a measure of innocence to Christ as the sacrificial lamb emphasising aspects of otherness sanctity and mystery. The Passion narrative is framed by a Prelude exploring the Annunciation and a Postlude taking us beyond the Crucifixion to the Resurrection and Ascension. These incorporate Gospel textswhere Luke explains the Kingdom of God.

This anthem was commissioned by Sam Wanamaker of the Globe Theatre Trust and first performed at Southwark Cathedral by the Exultate Singers under Garrett O'Brien on 23rd April 1972.In spite of Berkeley's adherence to RomanCatholic traditions the hymn is close to Anglican patterns and shows Berkeley's return to diatonic materials after a more exploratory approach in the 1960s. There is even a melodic blue not or false relation also found in someof Berkeley's earlier music as well as later pieces such as the sixth Prelude and a prominent motif in Nelson. The Irish-born C. Day-Lewis (1904-72) was poet laureate from 1968 until hisdeath.                Peter Dickinson

3 Hymnic Dispositions- 3 Hymniske Ansatser (3 Hymnic Dispositions) for mixed choir SATB was composed by Per Nørgård in 1985-86. The work consists of music composed to 3 poems e.g.  Gunnar Ekelöf ´Komposition (Composition)   Thøger Larsen ´Strandvalmue´(´Beach Poppy´)  Rainer Maria Rilke ´Die Parke´(´The Parks´)    Programme note Just as the three movements in their succession move from the sea (Ekelöf) across the beach (Larsen) and into the country to the parks (Rilke) in an analogous wayeach of the three movements in their point of departure is hymnic in character - but later on moves into the more varied and complex tone paths of the inner regions of the mind.  3 Hymniske Ansatser (3 Hymnic Dispositions) is sung in Swedish (1. Komposition” Gunnar Ekelöf) in Danish (2. Strandvalmue” Thøger Larsen) and in German (3. “Die Parke” R.M. Rilke). The work could be performed in a programme with 'Prelude to Breaking' performed after this instrumental piece.  Per Nørgård 

Using Chopin's “Prelude in C minor Op. 28 No. 20” as an opening dirge this SATB anthem effectively paints the pained walk to the cross on Golgotha. Offering an optional short intro that still captures the somber andhaunting imagery the women's voices enter with an ethereal straight tone that the men layer upon dramatically. This humbling piece is ideal for Good Friday as the profound theme will linger in worshippers' minds as they leave theservice to contemplate the cross.

Enhance your Pentecost services with the soothing music of this comforting invocation. A beautiful choice for a call to worship or as a vocal prelude to communion this anthem is easy to learn but provides a rich tapestry ofsound. Invoke the presence of the Holy Spirit into the lives and worship of your congregation with the lovely Fill Us with Your Spirit.
