for SATB and organ/brass, percussion, and organ/string orchestra
Vaughan Williams composed this simple anthem for a pageant in aid of the church of Abinger in 1934. The homophonic texture and inclusion of the first verse of O God our help in ages past at the end of the piece make it an accessible and inclusive work and a rousing addition to any service, concert, or community occasion. As an alternative to this brass accompaniment, a string orchestra accompaniment is available on hire.
