Programme Note

These Two Hymns were written in memory of my mother. The first is for double choir, and is a setting of a text from the Liturgy of St Basil. It speaks of the almost cosmic power attributed to the Mother of God by the Orthodox Church. The second comes form the Vigil Service of the Dormition (of falling asleep) of the Mother of God. She invites the apostles to gather form the end of the earth to bury her body in Gethsemane, and asks her to receive her spirit.
