The Lord is My Shepherd (Psalm 23) [Goodall] — Choir of Wells Cathedral

The Choir of Wells Cathedral, Somerset, under the direction of Matthew Owens, perform Howard Goodall's setting of Psalm 23, 'The Lord is My Shepherd'. Perhaps the best known of the psalms, the twenty-third is frequently heard at funerals and weddings. This particular musical setting for choir and orchestra is well-known for having served as the theme music to the television programme 'The Vicar of Dibley', where the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford and soloist George Humphries recorded the track.

The choir here is accompanied by the Wells Cathedral School Chamber Orchestra.

Treble solos by William de Chazal, former Head Chorister at Wells.

Thank you so much for this! I sang in this chior 2 or 3 years ago. But, sadly, I moved back to the US. But I sang this while I was there. It brings back so many good memories, thanks again!
