A richly-scored bass solo is a notable characteristic of the work, and the grandeur of the choral writing gives more than a hint of the terrific Easter-tide Anthem 'Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously' that was the next year to follow from the composer's pen. This performance was recorded in Leeds Minster on Sunday 28th April 2013 during the recital of 'music with Minster connections' sung by St Peter's Singers of Leeds, directed by Dr Simon Lindley. the organist is David Houlder and the bass soloist is Quentin Brown.
