A prayer for those in peril on the sea, to go with the storms depicted in the verses of Sunday’s responsorial psalm. They’re unusually dramatic for psalm verses, and we acted them out with big dynamic contrasts, and a sudden pause for the calm after the storm to descend in the third verse.

Two versions of the communion antiphon The Eyes of All – a new simple setting of mine with a congregational refrain, and Charles Wood’s serene prayer of thanksgiving.

More serene thanksgiving in the Mozart (the soprano solo beautifully rendered by Gwen Leech), echoing today’s psalm response O give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever. And then, to finish, a more exuberant expression of gratitude in Stephen Dean’s hymn setting, which deserves to be more widely known.
