Concerto Grosso for Brass Band and Orchestra - 1st movement (excerpt)

for SATB choir, strings, harp, and percussion

Setting fragments of texts by Thomas Traherne, Richard Crashaw, John Bunyan, William Blake, and an anonymous haiku:

 Lord!
 O hear how short I breathe!
 What will Wrath's sea, so foully fierce, not dare?
 See how I tremble here beneath
 A sin! its ugly face
 More terror than its dwelling-place
 Contains, (O dreadful sin)
 Within!

 As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted
 on a certain place where was a Den, and I laid me down
 in that place to sleep: and, as I slept, I dreamed a dream.

 From dust I rise,
 And out of nothing now awake,
 The Sun arises in the East
 Cloth'd in robes of blood and gold,
 Crown'd with warlike fires and raging desires,
 Leading towards the unknown;
 Hope's path carved anew.


Commissioned and performed by Bedford Choral Society and Bedford Sinfonia, conducted by Ian Smith in Bedford Corn Exchange on 21/6/25
