Britten wrote it in 1934 between 11 July and 17 September, scored for treble solo, four-part choir (SATB) and organ. == History and versions == Britten dedicated the work: "Written for Maurice Vinden and the Choir of St Mark's, N. Audley St, London". It was first performed in concert at the medieval Church of St Michael's, Cornhill, London, on 13 November 1935 by the St Michael's Singers and organist George Thalben-Ball, with soprano May Bartlett, conducted by Harold Darke.〔 The work was among Britten's first compositions to be published, by Oxford University Press.〔 Commissioned by the BBC, Britten orchestrated the work in 1936 between 14 and 20 January, for harp or piano and string orchestra. This version was first performed in concert at the Mercury Theatre, London, on 27 January 1936 in the Lemare concert series, by the Choir of St Alban the Martyr, Holborn, conducted by Reginald Goodall.
