Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: Nunc dimittis (for soprano, with trumpet and orchestra)

~ Work

Annotation

lyrics are English, from Book of Common Prayer, 1662:

(Luke 2: 29-32)
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace
According to Thy word.
For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation
Which Thou has prepared before the face of all peoples
To be a light to the Gentiles,
And to be the glory of Thy people, Israel.

(Doxology)
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
