O that we were there! is a text taken from the Christian hymn In Dulci Jubilo. It expresses a longing to be present at the Incarnation of Christ but it also conveys a longing to be out of the world oftime and space and in an eternal world.This work was written for Sherborne Girls in gratitude for having educated my daughters Theodora and Sofia. It is dedicated to the memory of Blossom Perronelle Barrow who died ofcancer aged 12.
