James MacMillan: To My Successor SSAATB

A short anthem commissioned to mark the enthronement of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams in 2003. Accompanied by a series of Alleluias, it features a text by George Herbert (1593-1633) found at Bemerton Rectory, near Salisbury, as an inscription that reads "If thou chance for to find A new House to thy mind, And built without thy Cost: Be good to the Poor, As God gives thee store, And then my Labour’s not lost." For mixed choir a cappella.
