Alfred the Great

O God, who called your servant Alfred to an earthly throne that he might advance your heavenly kingdom, and gave him zeal for your Church and love for your people: Grant that we, inspired by his example and prayers, may remain steadfast in the work you have given us to do for the building up of your reign of love; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Daniel Hyde conducts The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and soloists Krista Bennion Feeney, Sara Cutler, Clara Rottsolk and Adrian Timpau in works by Arvo P√§rt, John Rutter and Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Arvo Pärt РCantus in memory of Benjamin Britten
John Rutter – Visions
Vaughan Williams – Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus

Vaughan Williams – Dona Nobis Pacem

Arvo P√§rt’s achingly simple Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten sets the scene for the English pastoral radiance of John Rutter’s Visions.

Bringing out the bitter implications and poignant sincerity of Vaughan Williams’s great plea for peace, Dona Nobis Pacem – Grant us Peace – was inspired by recent wars during the growing fears of a new one.
