ABOUT THIS PIECE:
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence by Edward Bairstow is a setting of the ancient hymn text from the Liturgy of St. James, and embodies a profound sense of reverence and awe. Bairstow, a renowned composer and organist, served as Master of Music at the iconic York Minster, one of the most famous Gothic cathedrals in the world. His tenure at York Minster significantly influenced his compositions, many of which are celebrated for their spiritual depth and grandeur, and that use the incredible acoustic of the cathedral as part of their very structure.
This arrangement translates Bairstow’s choral masterpiece into a stirring brass setting, maintaining the richness and gravitas that makes it so memorable. Ideal for concerts, services, or ceremonial occasions, the piece provides a powerful and reflective experience for performers and audiences alike.
