Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven :: Choir of Westminster Abbey
Loading...
Uploaded by drwestbury on Sep 14, 2009
The choir of Westminster Abbey sing the stirring hymn "Praise, my soul, the King of heaven" with words by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847). The trebles sing the penultimate verse on their own before they sing a soaring descant during the final verse. The pictures are all of Westminster Abbey with the final picture being the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is situated inside the Abbey's western entrance.

This hymn style (and lyrics) are SO REFRESHING and exhilerating!! I go to a church with some cheap "praise team" and some hotshot guy on the stage wanting us to "get excited about Jesus". Really? I want the music to reflect the majesty, power, and sheer beauty of the Lord of Glory, not the trash 'music' and it's similarly shallow lyrics they want to sing in churches today. If they're trying to attract the youth they must be failing-I'm only 20! God bless those who praise the Lord in His Majesty.

A freat video.
Eccentric Richard really should read a good book on the Reformation. I recommend Diarmid MacCullough. His understanding is based purely on cheap propaganda.

can i have the score for this? including the descant parts. my choir needs to learn it.

Many of the Anglo-Catholics have left to the Roman Catholic Ordinariate for former Anglicans with women bishops coming into the C of E. What would Cardinal Newman have made of Anglicanism today??
-
@mordo1000 The C of E is not at all Protestant in their heart of hearts today. The Anglo-Catholics are gaining more and more ground.

I love this, one of my favourite hymns from school, and even after 26 years in the US, I'm still Church of England and very traditionalist:)

@christusvincit - i left my church one year ago, I cannot stomach anymore the "guitar and drums" in my church, I missed the solemn hymns of the church, the prayerful tunes, the heavenly sounds of my old church. I'm not an old-fashioned dude, I'm a 56 years old certified rocker and beatle fanatic, but when it comes to church service, I leave the noisy music behind, and worship God in harmony and silence.

@march131958 Unfortuntely these days you are MUCH more likely to hear guitar and drums in a Catholic Church than anywhere else. You do realise that Westmnster Abbey and King's College are Anglican? And the hymn Be still my soul was written by a Lutheran!
