SSAATTBB and organ (ad
lib.)
Born 200 years
ago this year and
orphaned at the age of 3,
Sterndale Bennett was
brought up by his
grandfather in Cambridge,
where he sang in the
choir of King's College
before entering the Royal
Academy of Music to study
the piano at the age of
10. He was later to
become Professor of Music
at Cambridge and
Principal of the RAM.
This fine eight-part
setting of verses from
Psalm 71, written towards
the end of his life,
explores imitative and
antiphonal
textures.
