I’m trying to identify some music …
About mid-way through the U.S. disaster memorial at St. Paul’s cathedral in London, there was a choral piece. It involved both the children’s and adult voices. It sounded relatively modern, harmonically, to me. And, it was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t make out any words.
Can anyone name this piece?
I’m not referring to Psalm 23 - I know that was the Stewart version, very nice in it’s own right.
Thanks in advance.
Dear God, how I love the Internet. Never let it be taken away from us. Amen.

About halfway down, the second choir “Anthem”. Was the text “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth”?
Music by Edgar Bainton, 1880-1956.
Just because I never heard of him is no reason why he shouldn’t be all over Google.
