Commentary

From score: "First performed by the Choir of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, directed by David Graham, at Westminster Cathedral on 1 March 2014."

For compositions composed by Gabriel Jackson, this work is relatively easy in comparison to many others with one exception: the long soprano soli sections may be difficult to unify across the section. The soprano part divides several times for a brief time, but only briefly.
