Description: This short motet was written on a lazy Christmas afternoon in 1972 for Bob Weir (d.2003) and his small but fine choir at St Mary’s, Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight. However, I composed it imagining a large church with a resonant acoustic where chords could just roll away during the rests. In such conditions, care should be taken to ensure that the rests are given full value. Dry acoustics may require a speed slightly less slow than indicated, but the piece should always sound solemn and never hurried.
