This week I am on holiday visiting my children in Tennessee. Karen Silva has graciously agree to play the service, leading the choir through the anthem, a setting of the familiar text, For the Beauty of the Earth, by Houstonian David Ashley White.

It's a setting he wrote for his parents 50th anniversary.
