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 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 sings of my soul, nor for all The souls.
