Sir John Tavener: Mother of God, here I stand - Exultate Singers

Exultate Singers performs 'Mother of God, here I stand' by the great British composer Sir John Tavener who died on 12 November 2013. The recording is taken from Exultate Singers' new album, A Sense of the Divine, to be released in December 2013 and was recorded in St George's Bristol Exultate Singers David Ogden Mother of God, here I stand now praying before this ikon of your radiant brightness, not praying to be saved from a battlefield; not giving thanks nor seeking forgiveness for the sins of my soul, nor for all the souls. Numb, joyless and desolate on earth; but for her alone, whom I wholly give you.
