I thought the recording seemed to be overwhelmed by the soprano line. I thought the other parts seemed subdued in comparison. Beautiful music though.

I get a lump in my throat every time I hear this. How beautiful. Horribly difficult for sopranos, by the way, starting with high F sharps at piano. Twice!

A magnificent song that befits a magnificent cathedral. Just awesome!!!

My favorite Anglican Cathedral-Thanks!

@tritus67 : You got stick in an English cathedral because of you poor English ? Shocking !
-
do you have any other parts of the service? (i'm in it and wanna watch them!)

Mary, you weren't wrong at all. All cathedrals are churches. As for the music, yes, it is wonderful! Composers have written glorious works for the services of the Anglican Church, with this one being an evening canticle. Charles Villiers Stanford wrote many beautiful works for the church, with this one being a gem.

if it's a cathedral it's a church.
