Vocal score, for SATB & Organ

Audio excerpt:


The style has something in common with English composers like Howells and Sumsion. Starting with a cry from the deep, text and music leads to peaceful and comforting melodies and harmonies at the words "for there is mercy with thee". Thereafter is a brief central climax. It has a simple musical texture, with long expressive unison phrases.

Words from Psalm 130:  
Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: 
Lord, hear my voice. 
O let thine ears consider well: 
the voice of my complaint. 
If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme 
to mark what is done amiss: 
O Lord, who may abide it? 
For there is mercy with thee: 
therefore shalt thou be fear’d. 
I look for the Lord: 
my soul doth wait for him, 
and in his word is my trust. 
My soul fleeth unto the Lord: 
before the morning watch, I say, 
before the morning watch. 
O Israel, trust in the Lord, 
with the Lord there is mercy, 
and with him is plenteous redemption. 
And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins.
