for SATB and organ. This radiant anthem was commissioned as part of the celebrations to mark He r Majesty's Diamond Jubilee. It was first performed at the Service of Thanksgiving on 5 June 2012 at St Paul's Cathedral by choristers from the Chapel Royal, St Paul's, and an expressly auditioned 'Di amond Choir' of young singers from around the UK. Setting a text adapted from Proverbs 8 by Michael Hampel, Precentor of St Paul's Cathedral, that implores the listener to place their trust in a faith ful God, Todd employs arching melodies and beautifully simple harmonies that are underpinned by a ge ntle organ accompaniment. With its peaceful simplicity and sparkling tranquillity, The Call of W isdom would make an affecting addition to any service or concert. There is also a version for upper voices.||||
