This motet for unaccompanied mixed voices (minimum 3333) was written to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Cantores in Ecclesia. It is dedicated to the choir's founder and Musical Director, Michael Howard.
The words are taken from Psalm 137 though they are deliberately re-organised to make the composer's and Michael Howard's political point a little more clear.
(The composer and Michael Howard intended the last verse of the psalm to stand as a sort of metaphor for the Second Vatican Council's act of proscribing the Tridentine Mass a few years earlier. This, many people believe, was one of the greatest pieces of cultural vandalism ever.
