Commissions

As the National Musicians’ Church, we want to play our role in the development of sacred music. We commission every year for our BBC Proms service, live on BBC Radio 3, and also for our St. Cecilia service. We are also inheriting a tradition of significant choral works written for Holy Sepulchre by composers such as William Walton and John Ireland. In more recent times, we have commissioned the following choral works:

The Angel, Joshua Pacey (for choir, organ and string quartet), Christmas 2018

My Heart, O God, Lucy Walker, Lent 2022 (published by Boosey & Hawkes)

O Sing to the Lord, Lucy Walker, St Cecilia 2024

None Other Lamb, Dan Forrest, BBC Proms Service 2025
