Hymn to St Margaret of Scotland

for SATB unaccompanied Jackson's Hymn to St Margaret of Scotland couples the expressive language of a medieval Latin hymn with the Collect for St Margaret of Scotland 'O God, who didst call thy servant' taken from the 1929 Scottish Book of Common Prayer. The use of hockets and isorhythms give the music a deep medieval grounding, whilst the beautifully ornamented melodies bring out a distinctively 'Scottish' sound to this dramatic work.
