Canticle of Freedom (1999)
The word in solemn stillness lay - And still their heavenly music floats - Two thousand years of wrong - When peace shall over all the earth
( The word in solemn stillness lay ; For the trumpet of God ; And man at war with man ; Lead from death to life )
... Commissioned by Colchester Choral Society to celebrate the Millenium and dedicated to the memory of W.H. Swinburne ...
