In this unaccompanied motet Vaughan Williams sets a text by the
English poet John Skelton (c.1463-1529). The music captures the
spirituality of the text with floating choral lines and a
sophisticated harmonic language, employing eerie dissonances to
create a sense of otherworldliness. The work carries the following
dedication: 'To the memory of my master Hubert Parry not as an
attempt palely to reflect his incomparable art, but in the hope
that he would have found in this motet (to use his own words)
'something characteristic'.'.
