Guildford Cathedral Choir, directed by Barry Rose:
Evensong at Guildford Cathedral, 29 November 1970:
(For this performance, Barry Rose played the organ. Stanford’s Evening Service in G major, Op. 81, was written in 1904 and orchestrated in 1907)
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him, throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
GLORIA
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
GLORIA

I sung the bass solo in the Nunc Dimittis in Ely Cathedral for Evensong in July 2003. Amazing organ and acoustics. Highlight of my solo singing of English Church Music ❤️

It is a real shame that CVS didn’t write more solo parts in his other canticles. They, to my mind, are the best of all, when they are sung well, you can hear a pin drop in the church. Lovely., and well sung by the soloists.

Thanks for listening - and enjoying!

+1 volume is a bit low though

@ArchivesofSound 6 лет назад

Many of these tracks have an extremely wide dynamic range. In this case, if we'd turned the volume up, the loud bits would have distorted.

@@ArchivesofSound I like the way it is recorded, especially with the soloist (The boy that starts out the chant with "My soul, doth magnify the Lord....) It sounds as if they are recording in a cavernous place and there is something magical to that.

Absolutely disgusting that the treble soloist is not credited. The amount of work, dedication and effort - and sheer bravery, especially if you are soloing at a major service in front of lots of people - that treble soloists, usually no more than 12 or 13 years old, put in, especially in exposed solos like this, deserves recognition.

For reasons of privacy, we do not identify living participants unless they have given us permission to do so. In this case, the treble soloist has not. We're sorry you think that protecting people's privacy is "disgusting".

@jonb6417 3 года назад

@@ArchivesofSound Understood, and my apologies for making what you have shown to be an unjustified assumption. (And of course I don't think that protecting privacy is in any way wrong.) One wonders why, having done such a sterling job, this person would not wish to be credited for it, but that of course is entirely his affair. So please ignore my first sentence: the rest, I would argue, stands!

@@jonb6417 I support your comments, but also fully understand the reason given for not crediting the soloist, but, I am not altogether convinced. It has long been policy/ unwritten rule in the Church that individuals were not credited for their efforts, but anyone regularly attending their local church/cathedral’s Evensong services would always learn the names of the choristers and get to know their voices. Look at the age of this recording, look at any CD, disc from that era and see how many soloists are named, and those years were well before the advent of personal privacy and data protection concerns. It would be interesting to learn how many youngsters or their parents were asked whether they consented to the name of their child being listed in the credits.

@@artfuldodger4850 I was a chorister at Winchester and in our recordings they always credited the soloists

@ArchivesofSound 2 года назад

You're missing the point. At Guildford, soloists were credited on commercial recordings, just as at most cathedrals, but these are private recordings, not commercial ones, and they involve individuals who may not wish to be named. The Winchester recordings you refer to will have been commercial recordings.
