"This short motet was written on a lazy Christmas afternoon in 1972 for Bob Weir (1935–2003) and his small but fine choir at St Mary’s, Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight. However, I composed it imagining a large church with a resonant acoustic where chords could just roll away during the rests. In such conditions the rests should be given their maximum values. In drier acoustics it may be necessary to adopt a slightly faster speed, but the piece should always sound solemn and never hurried."

Domine Jesu Christe, qui dixisti Apostolis tuis: pacem relinquo vobis, pacem meam do vobis; ne respicias peccata nostra, sed fidem ecclesiae tuae: eamque secundum voluntatem tuam pacificare et coadunare digneris; qui vivis et regnas Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
