A coming together of staff members but also of those who had been supported by the charity: those who had lost a child and children who had lost loved ones. The concert was to be a happy occasion that would also need some room for reflection by all those who attended. | Reading Festival Chorus was asked to perform as the choir for the evening, assisting the congregation in singing Christmas carols and songs but that need for reflection and remembrance was the inspiration for this particular setting. | Reflective, sensitive but ultimately leading the listener to accept Rossetti's words of comfort, and encouragement to be happy - yes even in loss" ("Remember - Edward-Rhys Harry").

Several seconds should elapse before the entrance of the next section. Within the Soprano, Alto, and Tenor sections, each singer enters separately and repeats the ostinato as his or her own tempo. The Bass section enters last and together (not aleatorically), singing the melodic phrase rather slowly and majestically. When the Basses reach their final note, the upper voice parts gradually close and decrescendo to the fermata."
