'How fair and how pleasing' is an anthem for SATB choir and organ by Peter Tranchell, written for the wedding of Malcolm Arthur and Harriet Leigh Spencer, 10 August 1974.

The text is from Song of Songs, Chapter 7, verses 6, 11-12.

Guy Turner has let us know

St Michael's Singers took this piece on tour. A local paper review said that the big build up culminating in the fff chord with the top C was so exciting it 'must have made the wedding night seem like an anti-climax'!
