One equal musicScoring: AATTBB (a cappella) [also available as SATB divisi]
Written: Worcester, UK - March 2007 Duration: 4'20 Publisher: Edition Peters Cost: £3.00 This setting of words from one of Donne's sermons was written for the lay clerks of Worcester Cathedral when Jim sang in the choir as a tenor lay clerk. It has since become part of their repertoire, and wormed its way into the library of Southwark Cathedral choir, when Jim moved from Worcester to sing there. Whither next? |
Our last awakening - John Donne (1572-1631)
Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity:
in the habitations of thy glory and dominion,
world without end. Amen.
