Commissioned by His Majesty King Charles III for The Coronation
First performed on Saturday 6th May at Westminster Abbey the Choir of Westminster Abbey conducted by Andrew Nethsingha, with organist Peter Holder.
O’Regan said: “I wanted to explore influences from my own varied heritages within the context of the Agnus Dei in the British choral tradition: a unison melody is slowly fragmented to create myriad timbres, much as one might hear in some Arab or Irish traditional music. This melodic shifting is also reminiscent of 'phase music', strongly connected with San Francisco, where I wrote this work. Finally, there is an alternating verse anthem structure: a nod to Orlando Gibbons, who became Organist of Westminster Abbey exactly 400 years ago.”
