Artist picture
Ambient electronica, chillout dance beats, ethereal vocals or occasionally harp. Feel free to livestream/record any of these in internet church services.
Abbess was the composer in residence for the Visions creative multimedia collective and church service in York from 1991-2010. She then went to work for Leeds Minster before moving South to Winchester Cathedral. Now she is working for the Transcendence Trust. A few years ago she added some free downloads of settings of ancient songs used in the mornng prayer liturgy. Abbess' music ranges from classically influenced chill-out pieces through trip hop to departures into the land of techno. Feel free to use the mixes and/or words in a non-profit church service situation, and let her know if they liked it!

Story behind the song
This is another of our carol remixes hot off the press. It was a tricky one to write as dance music doesn't squeeze into 3 very easily!
Lyrics
Of the Father’s heart begotten Ere the world from chaos rose He is Alpha from that fountain All that is and has been flows He is Omega of all things Yet to come the Mystic Close, Evermore and evermore. He assumed this mortal body Frail and feeble, doomed to die, That the race from dust created Might not perish utterly Which the dreadful law had sentenced In the depths of Hell to lie Evermore and evermore This is He, whom seer and sybil Sang in ages long gone by This is He of old reveal-ed In the page of prophesy. Now He comes, the promised Saviour Let the world His praises cry Evermore and evermore! Praise and honour to the Father Praise and honour to the Son Praise and honour to the Spirit Ever three and ever one Consubstantial Co-Eternal While unending ages run Evermore and evermore! Evermore and evermore! Evermore and evermore!
