Description
Hymn (after Byrd) is the penultimate movement of my String Quartet No. 1 ‘Aloysius’, arranged here for string orchestra. It is a reflection on William Byrd’s setting of the fifth century hymn ‘Christe, qui lux es et dies’. That ancient melody is a prayer for Light within the darkness of the night. The falling and rising contours within it became integral to my work on the quartet as a whole, as did the mental image of the setting and rising of the sun.
