'Magnificat & Nunc dimittis' (Festival service) was commissioned from Tim Knight for the choir of St Barnabas, Oxford in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Dedication of the church and the first performance was given at Evensong and Benediction at St Barnabas on 27th October 2019. Dr Tom Edwards, Director of Music, was delighted with the piece, reporting that 'the performance of the Anniversary Canticles went exceptionally well and was very well received'.
The piece will be released by Paraclete Press in 2020. In the meantime, another commission for St Barnabas is already available directly via Paraclete Press and featured as one of their pieces of the year.
