Bob Chilcott Prayer of St Benedict: Almighty God, Give us wisdom to perceive you, for SATB and organ or piano. Chilcott's setting of St Benedict's sixth- century prayer begins with a gentle recurring figure in the keyboard, graduallly building to a rousing climax. The primarily homophonic texture allows the timeless text to shine through, while the expansive vocal writing and expressive use of harmony create a sense of awe towards the Almighty God.
