Description
Setting of a prayer by Mother Cornelia Connelly, foundress of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus in 1846 and latterly Mayfield School. in 1863 she was inspired to transform the ruins of the Old Palace of Mayfield into a girls school embodying the ethos of the Society; this was accomplished in 1872. The Cornelian ethos of the text make this piece suitable for a wide range of occasions, such as Easter, weddings and general thanksgiving. The choral writing is expressively scored in response to the poem; the organ part, for manuals throughout, is supportive and provides musical punctuation, with a short decorative postlude.
