There is no doubt that the new Pope wishes to see a return to the great music of the sixteenth century but that it should sit alongside the music of our present day. Those of you who know our repertoire will be well acquainted with our many recordings of Renaissance works. However, it is also important that we champion music of today. This would not be possible without the support, belief and encouragement of individuals. We are so fortunate to have in John Studzinski, the architect of the whole “Padre Pio” project, through his inspired Genesis Foundation, someone who believes not only in creating spiritual experiences but also ensuring that music in the Catholic Church is upheld and, above all, injected with life.
Harry Christophers is the founder and conductor of The Sixteen.
Harry Christophers and The Sixteen have recorded three new choral works by three contemporary British composers: James MacMillan, Roxanna Panufnik and Will Todd. Each work is a setting of the famous prayer after communion Stay With Me, Lord, by the Capuchin priest Padre Pio. It was premiered in front of a packed audience at a public concert at Westminster Cathedral in June 2008. The purpose of the Genesis commissions is to enhance the liturgical repertoire and to inspire and delight people of every faith and conviction.

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have you present so that I do not forget you. You know how easily I abandon you.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have you present so that I do not forget you. You know how easily I abandon you.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for you are my life, and without you, I am without fervour.
Stay with me, Lord, for you are my light, and without you, I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear your voice and follow you.
