@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.

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.
