Compact Disc £5

Friends of Cathedral Music - April 2000

"The title for this CD comes from Elgar's anthem of the same title and also Douglas Guest's beautiful, evocative anthem for remembrence, which is executed most sublimely on this disc. What a pity we do not hear it sung in many of our cathedrals. As an Essex-man who was brought up not far from Waltham Abbey, I am delighted to see this mixed choir produce such a fine CD. The choir perform very well indeed Alastair Stout's Darkening Skies which was commissioned for the choir and explores the journey from the dark battlefield into the light of God, transforming deathly grey to living red. This is a worthwhile buy containing some fine singing."

(Andrew Palmer)

Church Music Quarterly - January 2000

"An enjoyable selection of pieces is sung to a high standard. Worthy of special mention is Jamie Hitel's riveting rendition of Leighton's major organ work, ’Et Ressurexit’."
