ABOUT THIS PIECE:
Composed by Edward Cuthbert Bairstow for the choir at York Minster, this atmospheric and haunting piece is a staple of the Anglican choral tradition. As with a lot of choral music, this piece lends itself very well to brass. With rich harmonies, this piece was written with the acoustic of York Minster in mind and would especially suit a more reverberant space if you get the opportunity!

ABOUT CANTATIO ENSEMBLE EDITION:
Cantatio ENSEMBLE EDITION came about as a result of the ‘Corona Virus’ pandemic in 2020. With ever-changing restrictions on the number of players allowed to perform together, it became evident that small ensemble music would become key to the continuation of music making all across the globe.
