Duke Street was first published anonymously in Henry Boyd's Select Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes (1793), and later credited to John Hatton (1710-1793) in William Dixon's Euphonia (1805). Other than that he lived in Duke Street, in the township of Windle in Lancaster, England, virtually nothing is known about Hatton, who composed several other hymn tunes of lesser note. Over twenty English hymn texts have been set to Duke Street, the signature setting being Jesus shall reign where'er the sun. Also attached is Timothy Dudley-Smith's 2003 text, Kingly beyond all earthly kings, which is particularly appropriate to the Feast of Christ the King.

This descant was written at the invitation of Philip Johnson, AGO, at that time dean of the New Hampshire Chapter. It was sung at the closing evensong of the spring 1996 gathering by the choir of All Saints Parish, Peterborough.
