Choral Premiere on Sunday

My new piece for choir and organ, My lover spoke, will be premiered by the Chapel Choir of Eton College, conducted by Tim Johnson, during the chapel’s 10.30am service on Sunday 11th June. You can view the first page here. The text is adapted from Song of Songs:

My sister
My bride
My darling
My lover spoke

See! The winter is past;
My darling, arise, my flawless one, and come with me.
the rains are over and gone.
My lover
My friend

The season of signing has come,
let me hear your voice;
My sister
My bride
My darling
My lover
My friend
show me your face.

Come back…

You have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes.
