The "Friends of Bach Vespers at St James" has commissioned a number of motets and psalm settings for the series.

	How very good and pleasant it is     when kindred live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head,   on the beard of Aaron,     running down over the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon,     which falls on the mountains of Zion.   For there the Lord ordained his blessing,     life forevermore.
