These vibrant preces and responses, including the Lord’s Prayer, are a refreshing addition to the Anglican choral evensong repertoire. The composer has approached the text as prayers, sometimes highlighting exultation, sometimes vulnerability. The scoring for SATB divisi is not too challenging, and the cantor's part can be sung either in the standard chanted rhythm or in the suggested metrical rhythm (depending on the singer’s ability). College and cathedral choirs in particular will welcome Emma Brown’s fine new setting.
