for SATB unaccompanied Let all mortal flesh keep silence is a
reflective, homophonic setting of text from the fourth-century
Orthodox Liturgy of St James. Sheehan's setting, an original rather
than the customary pairing with the hymn tune 'Picardy', is steeped
in the Orthodox tradition, and has pure harmonies and a beautiful
stillness.

Historic accounts and new material illuminate the creation, early
history and artistic intentions of Britten's first opera. The
premiere of Peter Grimes on 7 June 1945 announced the emergence of
the first great composer of opera in English since Purcell.
Surviving documents offer evidence of the complex interaction of
differing ideas about the possible shape and content of the new
work, most notably the composition draft, which these essays are
particularly concerned to illuminate. They juxtapose historic
material with fresh studies: three items written by members of
theteam involved in the 1945 production are set alongside
specially-commissioned articles, with the three-fold intention of
presenting the views of some of the creators of the opera,
outlining the work's early history, and offeringcontemporary
perspectives on its historical context and its message.Professor
