"This text by Sir Walter Raleigh is full of symbolism (scallop shells were a sign of pilgrimage). Tappe has written this as an homage to Herbert Howells. Each sung phrase is separated by significant organ interludes. A gratifying and moving work for the advanced choir."

"This setting is reminiscent of the Howells' setting for Gloucester Cathedral. Each voice part is well suited to its particular vocal strengths and colors. Organ part is a voice unto itself, elaborating upon the choral writing and punctuating certain portions of the text."
