Text:From the Composer:In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may weseek for succour, but of thee, O Lord, who for our sinsart justly displeased? Yet, O Lord God most holy, OLord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour,deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.“In the Midst of Life” is one of the seven FuneralSentences in the Book of Common Prayer for theAnglican Church’s Service for the Burial of the Dead.The services are similar to a Requiem Mass, with theseadditional seven sentences from scripture and liturgythat are said over the body throughout the service.I had been working on a setting of all seven in 2016when I received word from one of my close friendsthat his father had just entered hospice and they werepreparing for the end. I was in Scotland at the timeand received the message in the middle of the night,so I immediately climbed out of bed and went to myfriend’s kitchen where I sat at the table and beganwriting this piece. I often try to sketch for quite sometime before committing to any particular material, butin this case the writing was purely reflective–It was theonly way I knew how to process my grief. I completedthe piece later that day and sent it to my friend’sfamily who were able to show it to his father beforehe passed. Sometimes music fills a void which can beoccupied by no other entity, and certainly in this caseI had no idea how to express my sorrow other thanthrough this piece.- Book of Common Prayer- Benjamin M. Cramer, 2018
