This work
was commissioned for the
choir of St. Paul's Old
Church, Edinburgh, who
gave the first
performance on the 11th
of June 1989 at St.
Giles' Church, Edinburgh,
conducted by Leslie
Shankland. This is a
setting in Scots of the
passage in the Apocalypse
where St. John hears a
voice from the throne,
that voice appearing here
as soprano-alto duets
from a distance,
building, as Davies has
said, ' fine bridge' from
the time of the Edinburgh
church to the present.
Both vocal groups sing in
translucent modal harmony
with organ support.
