Walton Music Originally written for the Phoenix Chorale in 2010, this shortened version of Ola Gjeilo’s Agnus Dei embraces its peaceful and introspective spirit.

Night Prayer – Owain Park

Novello

Night Prayer was written by Owain Park during Covid-19 isolation, and is designed to be performed by singers brought together from afar. The music is based on the ancient chant, Te lucis ante terminum (Before the ending of the day), with the melodies set against gently hummed textures and slow-moving harmonies.

The Big Picture – Judith Weir
