This mass setting by Ghislaine Reece-Trapp is a modern take on the polyphonic masses of Byrd and Palestrina. Expressive melodic ideas thread between the different voices and movements. The music also explores a range of moods from anguish and desolation to intimacy and joy, reflecting the richness and complexity of faith in the modern world.

The first performance was given by the BBC Singers, conducted by Grace Rossiter, on 8 March 2022 as part of a lunchtime concert broadcast on Radio 3.
