A reflection on the plainchant antiphon 'Pulchra es et decora', this hauntingly beautiful piece was commissioned by ORA100 for Suzi Digby and ORA Singers. The original antiphon has been transcribed and included at the beginning, and may be used as an introduction. Porter's use of rich harmonies and rippling melismatic vocal lines make this an impassioned setting of a Marian text.

Kim Porter is a composer and singer who studied at Manchester University. As a postgraduate she wrote music for the drama department's productions of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Büchner's Woyzeck, and composed the score for an Open University BBC TV programme about melodrama. She has since had works commissioned by ensembles such as ORA Singers and the BBC Singers. She is a member of The Sixteen, and sings with several other leading vocal groups in Britain.
