Ann says: 'I made these arrangements for the first season of the Mellow Tones Recorder Orchestra – the eight-foot orchestra set up and conducted by Helen Hooker. For the uninitiated, the smallest instrument included in an eight-foot recorder orchestra is the tenor, and such a group makes a wonderfully mellow sound. I thought that the two settings of Da Pacem Domine by Lassus would give the orchestra an opportunity to play something of great beauty. The total playing time of these settings is four minutes at the marked speeds. but the pieces also work extremely well when played more slowly.'

8 SATBSATB. These pieces are musical impressions of watercolours of one of those quintessentially English churches which are hidden away in the depths of the countryside. The music, in two choirs, is attractive and easy to play, and the moods conjured up may be accurately guessed at from the titles: The Church at Sunrise, The Old Bell Tower, The Graveyard and The Church Fete.
