Programme Note
This work was written in memory of my brother, Roger.
The five short phrases for choir and echo choir, at once noble and solemn, tender and mystical, should echo around a generous acoustic. The echo choir should be placed high in a gallery, as far as possible from the main choir.
J.T.
