This anthem was composed for a friend of mine, the Revered Canon Dr Peter Sills, Vice Dean of Ely, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his ordination on St Francis Day, at Ely Cathedral in 2006. The anthem was performed again, by the Choir of Ely Cathedral, conductor Paul Trepte, on 18 February the following year as the introit to for the BBC Choral Evensong service, the first Sunday evensong after the abandonment of the mid-week service on BBC Radio 3. It is essentially a meditative work.
