BC128
I sing of mayden
When to the temple Mary went
Lovely Tear of lovely Eye
Hail Star of the Sea most radiant
for SATB and organ
The four motets in this set are adapted from Bob Chilcott's large-scale choral work, Salisbury Vespers, which was premiered in Salisbury Cathedral in May 2009.
Setting a variety of early Marian texts, the set includes the gentle and expressive 'I sing of a mayden' and the fervent 'Hail, Star of the sea most radiant'. Re-scored for SATB and organ, the motets will be welcomed by choirs of all sizes looking for a more intimate introduction to Chilcott's magnificent landmark work.
The motets can be performed as a set or individually, and are suitable for concert and liturgical use.
Accompaniments for instrumental ensemble or for brass and organ are available to hire separately for each of the accompanied motets.
SATB (with divisions) & organ/brass & organ/ensemble
Duration: 16 minutes
