Written for the wedding of friends, Will Harmer’s subtle yet spontaneous setting of the ‘blessings’ of Christ from the Sermon on the Mount is a perfect anthem to accompany the solemnities and festivals of the Church calendar, and to provide a simple introit or anthem for any service. The music is finely crafted and beautifully judged for performance by choirs or by solo voices of all standards, with each beatitude characterised by fresh imitation and waves of gentle counterpoint that move towards a resounding, joyful climax supported by an elegant organ part.
