I became organist of Bridlington Priory in January 2020, just weeks before the first Covid lockdown. When we were able to return to singing, we did so with a small group of adult singers, but we had no repertoire! ATB services had never been a thing at the Priory so it was steep learning curve for us all.

This little anthem was written for one of the first evensongs we sang at this time. The theme is "light" pervades all, from the translucence of the opening tonal cluster to the open texture of the rest of the piece. It has remained a firm favourite in the Priory choir's repertoire.
