Call to remembrance

Richard Farrant's Call to remembrance is a devotional anthem for SATB and ATTB choirs. The music opens with a sense of gentle supplication, the voices entering with warmth and sensitivity. As the text unfolds, the composer skilfully builds the harmonic texture, reflecting the plea for divine mercy and the earnest desire to be remembered for goodness. The interplay between the SATB and ATTB divisions creates a rich, resonant sound, especially in moments of fuller polyphony. This setting of a poignant text from the Book of Common Prayer offers a profound and moving experience for both singers and listeners, grounded in the tradition of English sacred music.
