  • At Prince Philip's request, Psalm 104 was sung at his funeral at the Saint George's Chapel by the strongest voiced quartet, within the walls of the Windsor Castle, where the Duke of Edinburgh peacefully passed away. May he rest in peace.
    THE QUARTET- Miriam Allan: Soprano, Tom Lilburn: Alto, Nicholas Madden: Tenor, Simon Whiteley: Bass
    Psalm 104 - at the request of The Duke of Edinburgh, was to be set to music by William Lovelady (b. 1945), abridged and arranged for choir and organ by James Vivian (b. 1974) with the composer’s permission. Words from Psalm 104, adapted by Sam Dyer (b. 1945).

    Psalm 104
    1 Praise the Lord, my soul.
    Lord my God, you are very great;
    you are clothed with splendour and majesty.
    ...
    31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works-
    32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
    who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
    33 I will sing to the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
    34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    as I rejoice in the Lord.
    35 But may sinners vanish from the earth
    and the wicked be no more.
    Praise the Lord, my soul.
    Praise the Lord.
