This 20-minute, single-movement concertante work for cor anglais and orchestra focuses on Maundy Thursday, and the title is derived from Aquinas' hymn Pange Lingua. The World's Ransoming is the first part of a triptych for orchestra Triduum, first performed in 1996 by its dedicatee Christine Pendrill, with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kent Nagano.
