Peter Philips’s Ascendit Deus is similarly full of life and energy, and it prepares the way for the contrasting three-part anthem by the lesser-known William Mundy. Its serene simplicity has great beauty, and it again offers a chance for a celestial solo soprano. After the climactic Tallis work, the programme ends with a short but thrillingly jubilant six-part Matins responsory by Richard Dering. The choir was recorded at the Temple Church in London, the venue, some seven decades earlier, for one of the most famous choral recordings of all time, Mendelssohn’s Hear my Prayer, with its famous solo from Ernest Lough, ‘O, for the wings of a dove’ (r. 1927). The soloist here is a worthy successor.'
