Episcopalian in every way

J. Mitchell | 08/30/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This shows the rich choral tradition that only Anglicans possess, and stands as a beautiful example of our wonderful tradition."

Excellent sound quality.

"Rich and soothing. Magnficent choir descant"

A Fine Example

J. Mitchell | 03/29/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This has many wonderful examples of Anglican Hymnody performed by a lovely parish choir. I have recommended this to many musician friends, all whom have enjoyed it thoroughly. Of particular interest is Calvin Hampton's tune St. Helena set with the text "There's a Wideness In God's Mercy." This is rarely recorded, yet is regarded as one of the finest hymn tunes of the 20th century. It's a fine example of how the tune can dramatically shape the text. Compare this to the tune "Beecher" sometime and observe the profound difference in how the text comes to life."
