I must recommend the piece "O Radiant Dawn" by Scottish composer James MacMillan, based on the words of the Advent Antiphon 'O Oriens'.

We have sinned, and are as an unclean thing,
and we all do fade as a leaf:
and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away;
thou hast hid thy face from us:
and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since I was unable to sing or even stand for the Advent Procession, as I had cancer in my lungs! Makes it all the more special that I'm still here and able to still sing.

I guess it was written for the rededication of the organ wasn't it?

Is that my eyesight or is it a bit wonky?
