  • This is beautiful. It's a shame Bairstow is largely forgotten.

  • i must have listened to this about 10 times in the past 2 days. it is so beautiful and the choir blends really well, i think female altos sound lovely but in this the blend and power of male altos is stunning.

  • @JRichardYoung Fantastic! :) which cathedral?

  • @practicecrazypianist From a countertenor... YES! Also, we're doing this piece at the cathedral Sunday...

  • @thesandsman90 Up male altos...SUCH a special sound!!!

  • Bairstow is not 'largely forgotten'! He is one of the greats of the last century and his music can be heard in cathedrals and greater parish churches in England on a regular basis. We have used this particular piece in my choir at least twice this year as an introit at evensong - a beautiful little miniature.

  • One of Bairstow's best, and handily performed.

  • The *most* sublime and lovely piece of music...

  • Feel the power of a well placed picardy third!

    In this piece an abused clichè becomes a touch of genius.
