It was my aim with this carol/anthem to portray the Kingship of Christ in its many forms (both humble and mighty) and these two extremes must also become clear to the listener.  The organ enhances the unbridled sense of majesty and victory through its colourful registrations and insistent rhythmic patterns and the beautiful words by my brother Andrew combine to produce a work full of contrast and variety.  The fanfare-like sections need to be majestic and exhilarating whereas the more lyrical moments (normally accompanied by playful quavers on the organ) should be warmer and more expressive.

The words and music create a piece that is perfect for Christmas and the Feast of Christ the King.
