“The idea for writing this Sequence came to me when I attended a sequence recorded for the BBC by the Third Eton Choral Course in the summer of 1989. I devised a sequence for Ascension-tide in which the different choral forms and solo organ pieces give it musical variety within the intrinsic unity of a single composer’s work. The Provost and Fellows of Eton College commissioned it for part of the celebrations marking Eton’s 550th anniversary; it was first performed on 18th May 1990 and subsequently broadcast by the BBC on 26th May.” – Francis Grier
