NYCGB/Blest Pair of Sirens by Hubert Parry

[longeaton34]

Just listened to this again...just love the fabulous Eb chord the choir enter on, perfect! And its great to hear the boys singing so accurately. I reckon Sir David enjoyed every minute of this! I certainly did. You can hear all eight parts practically all the way through - something that can't be said of some recordings I have heard

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Thanks for posting. Somehow youth choirs seem to "just get it", don't they?

@longeaton34 it's because of their enthusiasm :)

I love the way it builds up at the end. Its completely OTT, but oh so unabashed and marvellous and wonderful. So many singers - good sound!

Aha!! The Mighty City of Birmingham Symphony Hall if I am not mistaken. Bet concert hall in the country bar none!! Dam' fine organ too. First class chorus under the maestro's baton. Bless''d Sirens indeed!!!

We performed this with the Lancashire Youth Choir ( Grammar Schools then), in about 1961. I wonder if it sounded as good as this?

Thank you for posting.
