Local composer Frank Woolley was commissioned by the Manx Music Development Team to write pieces suitable for church services on the Isle of Man. The Nunc Dimittus is set to the Manx melody ‘Vel shuish ben aeg ny ben phoosee’ and arranged for SATB and manual organ. Rest is an original melody by Frank Woolley set to the contemplative poem by Manx poet T.E. Brown. It is arranged for unaccompanied SATB choir.
Any composers interested in future commissions should contact the MMDT with examples of previous work. The new works are available to download now from the LEARN page.
