Recording - Mostly Motets

Mostly Motets is an a cappella chamber group with members from the Mercer County NJ-Bucks County PA area. They recorded the anthem Euroclydon composed by America's first professional composer, William Billings, on the stairs in the William Trent House in 2022. The piece was first published in 1781.

Euroclydon is a northeast wind storm that occurs in the Mediterranean, mostly in autumn and winter. The lyrics of the anthem's first stanza refer to the wonders of the sea:

​They that go down to the sea in ships
and occupy their bus'ness in great waters:
these men see God’s wonders, His wonders,
His great and mighty wonders in the deep.
