Dum transisset was the first Piece by Taverner I ever heard, some 23 years ago while at Christ Church, Oxford, and it's still among My favourites.

At first sight it is a simple sentimental Piece, but beneath it lies a history of pure imagination, enchantment and impossibility. The composer already realises he is no longer feeling what he is writing, he is just weaving a spell, over an ostinato guitar motif, to try to bring the feelings back (hence the title "Incantation"). He has found in his life that whenever he writes a song for the object of his desire, he has already begun to stop feeling that desire ... it is a sign that the relationship is about to change or disappear. But the whole thing is indeed enchantment and magic: you can dream and you can take the song at face value if you wish.  less

The song is written for a SATB choir and is sung a cappella. It is a contemplative Piece which explores themes of togetherness in adversity and the call for peace.

Lyrics: As one they stood alone As one they gazed into the unknown Laid bare in rains of steel Deep veins of mire to call their home Bade forth with flags of praise Thenceforth as one to end their days From distant shores Their souls cry out for us to remember As blood bore fertile earth One soaring call was brought to birth A seed awakening A proclamation now to serve As one their voices come As one they call the Earth to arms Their anthem strong A song imploring us to remember Remember, we shall remember As darkness plundered then So darkness wounds the Earth again An...    less
