Benedictus was originally composed as a movement in the ‘Missa Brevis Pacem’ of 1988, where it was sung by a boy soprano, accompanied by a wind ensemble. This new version was made specially for a recording by Rob Buckland (saxophone) and the Navarra Quartet, as one track on a new CD of Edward Gregson’s Chamber Music, to be released on the Naxos label in May, 2022.
