"The original field recording is called ‘Jerusalem Palestine Prayer’ and we selected this because of the unity and energy of the voices. These voices, from a location caught up in war, ride above the present and echo the ancient past. Interwoven with this are field recordings made at London’s Union Chapel, where the voices tell their own stories of struggle and the perseverance for freedom.
"To this, we added prayers recorded on 15th June 2025 at the Chapel’s Trinity service, featuring the prayers of the Revd Cathy Bird and voices of the Union Chapel Singers. The piece ends with a mechanical sound which nudges into silence. We placed this here as a punctuation with the present, as we await the future."
