I can hear MASSIVELY more of the soprano part than all the others!

We sang this in high school choir and loved it. Listening to it 20 years later is wild. Weird song but awesome.

We used to sing it (in English) at evening services at Westminster Central Hall Methodist Church when Dr William Lloyd Webber was our Choir Director and Organist - great memories of one of my favourite evening anthems. I was first bass.

He’s the master at his own style. I love the originality!

What happened to you? Still alive?

Rejoice in God 0:00 Hallelujah 2:51

What other composer can write like this? I mean, it's baffling, glorious, it's like what Gothic architecture sounds like. Howells is one of music's greatest and most profound. His contribution to music history is completely unique as is his harmonic language. I was ten years old when I was first introduced to HH and here I am 43 years later - Cathedral gig - and the dude reduces me to tears over and over again! Sadly I don't quite have the resources here in Old Brunswick to celebrate his work.

Evil is as evil does

Since I'm in a choir I sing this and the whole choir loves this

As I expected. Proper and dignified.

Where did you find the full score???

The Rolls-Royces of communion/mass settings.

All my hope by Herbert Howells???

all my hope

Oh this is incredible!!!

This is one of the finest motets written in the twentieth century. Absolutely masterful in text painting and use of vocal texture.

8:51

Nice performance of a lovely song. Thank you. ❤

well... this is a little heaven on earth.... in every way!

What an amazing setting-both exhilarating and disturbing at once.

Gosh, that looks like my score from CPDL!

Beautiful. Layton never disappoints.

Somehow those last six bars assail me with such beauty that it makes me cry.

This sounds great what was the criteria?

surprised he didn’t opt for a Gmaj chord at the end like seemingly everything else he does!

RSCM Choir course at Edinburgh under Michael English during the late 1980's. One of the most moving and heavenly pieces of choral music ever composed. 🙏👏

Superbe interprétation ! Juste dommage que le son soit loin.

This should have been filed in the 'student' folder and put in a cupboard. An embarrassing work redolent of nothing more than a total lack of awareness of sixteenth century technique...typical of its time though.

Absolutely splendid. Even having to hang on to that F# in the tenor line at the end (right in the 'crack'!), this one is simple, but, oh, so lush....

Howells at his greatest. Really well sung here, in my opinion. We did it a fair few times during my time as a treble, and it can be exhausting and the timing can get you unless you really concentrate. Do you not think that the phrase "we believe that thou shalt come to be our judge", beginning at 4:38, is one of the most wonderful musical phrases in the whole of western religious choral music? Thank you for the upload. 🙂

It´s sung in Gb a half note deeper, but it sounds nice.

One of the best musical pieces ever. Minutes 1:58 to 2:11 haunts me . Out of this world.

questo è un assoluto capolavoro..

The tuba😢😢

I have been looking for this since I left college in 97! I sang this with my college choir and haven’t been able to find it EVER till today! Right on time as I was studying Psalms 145!! Wow!!

This is nice!

Perfectly brilliant ,especially the organist

It is an absolute gem of XX century choral music. Thanks a lot for this! To help the viewers reading, I need to report that the C sharp marked in bar 3 of the Agnus Dei is a typo, that C is natural (the one in bar 5 is correct).

3:19 who are coughing

this is my first time to hear it a choirster from Sierra Leone

Glorious choral sections in this. The solo/unison parts are often an absolute snooze, sadly. Organ underutilized. Overall a great piece - starts well and ends well but the middle is definitely weaker.

My sister loves how they sing 😂😂

i really loved the 2nd soprano part on “for behold from henceforth”

My God… this is a majestic piece of music.

Both this one and the King's College Magnificat are both in G minor but this one is like the big noisy London night life is outside. King's is in the quieter university chapel and has pianissimo moments.

🗣🗣🗣ET HOMO FACTUS EST 13:19

Yes! 9:42. THIS is how you do that dotted triplet rhythm in the Gloria. Dr Cleobury knew his stuff (RIP)

1:00

This is a piece I love to sing, especially the surreal sections. One of my favourites by Britten.

I love Howells’ music….all of it.
