The piece is utterly incredibly beautiful, and this performance is FANTASTIC. The end is psine-chillingly moving. Thank-you very much for sharing this.

@mrnnhnz Agreed. Too many choirs rush through this. The pace is perfectly suited to St Paul's.
-
@Ikje86 I've sung this at St Pauls as a member of a visiting choir...
This version sounds amazing....
-
This was an excellent performance of an excellent piece. Very moving. (and I quite liked the tempo)
-
its a bit on the slow side
-
Yes, it must be the st. Paul's Cathedral Choir!

@TJATJA1982 I'm sure he wrote this during his time in Cambridge, during WW2, a few years after his son Michael died. He wrote it on January 8, 1941 while staying in Cheltenham, snowed in as you say. Michael died in 1935. Many treble solos like this one are thought to represent Michael, who was only 9 when he died, if not actually written for him.
-
The solo is specified at the 85th measure marked "dolce ed ardente." Beautiful piece.
-
The treble 'descant' is so wonderfully free and unconstrained, Howells was such a brilliant composer.
The final 3 chords as well are stunning
