For the Beauty of the Earth, by Philip Stopford

[FrNickF]

A beautiful piece that has the power to quieten a busy Cathedral - even in rehearsal. Superb.

I personally like this arrangement over Rutter's. Its harmonies are so beautiful. They make my heart sigh with yearning. I just looove the dissonance and resolve. He does those so beautifully! Its simply GORGEOUS. And the choir gives him credit! I"m simply in LOVE with this piece. Philip Stopford is just stupendous!

Yes, I'm quite emotional when it comes to music. =) And THANK YOU for posting this up!!

@MixedMasteress1323 Agreed, and that's very hard for me to say considering how much I love the Rutter!! This has tears coming to my eyes. Bill

A very attractive piece, but I "Can't believe it's not Rutter"! Well done Philip.

這首由Philip Stopford所編寫的曲子，用寧靜優美的旋律呈現上帝創造之­真、善、美，帶給我們另外一種境界的體會與喜樂。It's a great piece and is well sung.

Isn't he sweet? Couldn't you just eat him up? :-)
