This refreshingly intimate, vocally undemanding SATB setting of the Preces and Responses is a most welcome addition to the Anglican choral evensong repertoire. Emma writes: ‘I approached the text as prayer, considering not only the words themselves, but the circumstances in which a person might be moved to such prayer.’ ‘St. Pancras’ refers to the original name of the Hooglandse Kerk in Leiden, the Netherlands, where Emma is presently composer in residence.
