Composition Premier in Salisbury Cathedral

Teach me, O Lord cover

St Stephen’s Church Choir will be performing an original composition by Stephen Barker when they sing in Salisbury Cathedral in April.

The anthem – Teach me, O Lord – sets selected verses from Psalm 119 as appointed for the Offertory on the Fifth Sunday of Lent interspersed with a refrain and concluding with a prayer from the Common Worship Psalter.

Music staff at Salisbury Cathedral saw a first draft of the composition last week and were pleased to approve it.

You can hear Teach me, O Lord during Choral Evensong on Tuesday 12th April in Salisbury Cathedral. It is hoped to make a recording available on this website shortly afterwards.

Welcome

Welcome to my new website, now incorporated into www.churchchoir.org.uk, the website of St Stephen’s Church Choir, Canterbury, where I am Organist and Choirmaster working with a wonderful group of people using music to enhance the worship there week by week. If you have come straight here, please take a moment to visit the site and to listen to some of our recordings.

Over the next few weeks I will be uploading some of my own personal work that you are welcome to use where you can; details of new uploads will be added to this news feed when they become available.
