A Peace All Too Fair

Commissioned by St Jude's United Church as part of their sesquicentennial celebrations. The sonnet which the piece sets was also especially commissioned from Phoebe Wynne.

The setting took J.S.B. Monsell's hymn O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! as its borrowed material as Monsell was the vicar of Egham Parish church and was instrumental in the building of St Jude's Englefield Green.

The words were set a second time in the piece Hope Of The Hopeless.
