This
uplifting prayer for
peace is an anthem
setting of Thomas
Cranmer's Collect for the
Second Sunday after
Epiphany. And perhaps in
the spirit of the day's
epistle - an exhortation
from Romans 12
to practise those gifts
received through grace -
the composer offers here
a beautiful account of
his choral idiom: a
matter of precisely
imagined textures, as
sensitive to individual
line and contour as to
the seamless dovetailing
of motifs and harmony,
and of majestic,
purposefully cadenced
phrases in affective
unity with the sense and
breathing of the text.
Written for the 2011
Liturgical Music Course
and premiered in
Winchester Cathedral,
Almighty and
Everlasting God is
well within the standard
of capable church choirs,
and offers an absorbing
and memorable enhancement
of reverence in worship
for a variety of
occasions.
