From Jackson website: "First performed by the Choir of Durham Cathedral and the City of London Sinfonia, conducted by Stephen Layton, on 3 May 2013"

The instrumentation contains a division in the Vln I part into Vln I a & b.  Though the vocal parts are not as challenging as many of his other works, it is important to note that the orchestra parts are rhythmically difficult in places throughout the piece.
