A Good Understanding (2005) was written for Tim Brown and the choir of Clare College, Cambridge with the generous cooperation of John Scott and the Boys of Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue. A Good Understanding, with texts culled from two psalms, is designed to share a program with Rutter's expansive and expressive Mass of the Children. The piece unfolds episodically short choral phrases alternating with longer instrumental interludes. The first half of the text is typical psaltry praise-making: outlining agreements, explaining the rules; the music is, accordingly, severe but practical. The second half of the text begins, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom/a good understanding have all they that do his commandments.?I find the idea of a good understanding?to be an especially exciting reward for following the rules; the boys sing pulsed syllables and long descants to celebrate the covenant while the choir sings a lilting, repetitive refrain. (Psalm 111, 10). - Nico Muhly.

The late William Ferris was a composer for whom writing music was a labor of love. He believed that music written for the Church should have the same integrity of form and substance as a concert work. This exquisite anthem for unison choir was composed in 1995 and made its recording debut on the disc and music collection Be with Me, Lord, sung by the William Ferris Chorale and directed by Ferris himself. Many performance options are offered, making this unison setting suitable for mixed-voice choirs as well. The transcendant, modal organ accompaniment and instrumental obbligato provide the delicate framework. Organ interludes introduce the verses, adding an air of serenity in this work of art, which is sure to touch your spirit and inspire you to prayer.
