I used to fall asleep to Melodies like this. It was always; 'Classic Gold Radio';- and... before then... it was: "Radio Wiltshire": (in the ye olde days, with Dion & The Bellmonts;' and Bernie Cribbins.). How times change!
The most beautiful rendition of this hymn one will ever hear! May John Scott rest in peace, and through the mercy of Christ may light perpetual shine upon him and all the faithful departed.
Sang this song in 9th grade at All State choir ; they nailed the energy / phrasing of "over and aROUnd us lies" - I remember the choir director repeating that line with us 763 times.
Ich studiere Musikwissenschaft nur um herauszufinden, warum ich das jedes Jahr wieder singen und 300mal hören kann, ohne, dass es auf irgendeine Art und Weise alt oder langweilig wird.
Beautiful piece done by an excellent choir. However, the exaggerated pauses between individual chords as sung or played are really annoying in this recording. This is not in the music and it is a method of compensating for an exceptionally long reverberation within a hall (particularly under the dome). I wouldn't use this recording to teach a parish choir that sings in a smaller, less reverberant church. Yes, I have sung under the dome at this cathedral and I understand the problems of muddiness that the choir faces. I think this recording might have been so close to the choir that it did not capture the elasticity of the actual sound out in the hall.
As luck would have it, I'm reading about another Liddle - Rod Liddle's column in The Sun newspaper (Thursday 11th July) On a more serious note, in the summer of 1990, I shared a house owned by a 25-year-old female who worked in London during the week. She was the PA to Lord Puttnam.
I love the symbolism of this. Both the Jewish athlete and the Christian athlete believe in the Chariot of Fire miracle of Elijah..... Perfect Hymn to pick to make this clear.
