Reflection in words & music – Sunday 6th September 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Join The Revd Dr Jeff Lake, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. We open with a setting of "Ubi caritas" by the Norwegian composer, Ola Gjeilo. Gjeilo sang Duruflé's famous version in his school choir and it made a huge impression on him. He described it as ‘the perfect a cappella piece’ and it strongly influenced his own composition. Jeff considers the Gospel reading we have just heard from St Matthew and a passage by St Paul that c

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. We open with a masterful setting by Anton Bruckner of a text from Philippians "Christus factus est", which reflects on Christ's obedience unto his death on the cross. Though written for an unaccompanied mixed choir, it is remarkably symphonic in scale and full of chromatic tension. Our reading from Exodus tells the famous story of Moses and the burning bush which he dec

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. We open this week with a hymn-like setting by Déodat de Séverac of the text "Tantum ergo sacramentum" from the hymn "Pange Lingua" by Thomas Aquinas. Its simple harmonies and structure lend an attractiveness that have made it the composer's best-known work in England. The reading from Matthew includes the famous passage when Peter realises that Jesus is the Son of the l

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. We open with an anthem published in 1925 by Herbert Howells which sets the poem "My eyes for beauty pine" by Robert Bridges, who was later to become poet laureate. It expresses a quiet yearning, rather than a dogmatic faith, which resonated with Howells's spiritual temperament. This week's reading follows on from the feeding of the five thousand and describes how Jesus

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week's reflection opens with the motet "Ave verum corpus" by the English composer, William Byrd. It is his most performed and recorded work, in part because it is so expressive but also because it is simple technically to sing. Our reading from Matthew tells of the miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand. Steve then reflects on this best-known of Jesus's miracle
