@ Louis Blomfield, it's a bit late now, but for what it's worth: to get that top g out perfectly, get the GL of "glory" in while you're still on the d, then straight onto the vowel on the top note :)
+howardshelton - The way our conductor teaches this, is that the music always comes first, pronunciation of the GL you just don't try. You just don't sing it. The sound of your voice is much more important. Even the vowel doesn't need to be correct, 'ee' and '`e' are dangerous. You always take the vowel that sounds best for such high notes, something between a an o gives the voice 'bottom'. What helps too, is singing 'towards' the high note with a feel of crescendo, but to take the note itself back, so it feels like diminuendo, less loud than you'd want. Don't know the English word for it, supporting your breath by tension in your lower body is needed for singing well. This is especially true for singing your top range but also for singing softly.

@hazzadude777 No need to blow your own! All wonderful buildings. The choral tradition of this country is the greatest in the world and can only be maintained by people appreciating the music (whether from a Christian or just a music perspective) which it brings about.
Thank you for posting these pieces. I am a father who sings with a school choir and can only make a few rehearsals! These are an invaluable aid!! Is there a chance you could record the parts individually!!!!!!!! Bass in isolation would be superb!!!! Thank you
Thank you for posting this. A technical question; What techniques/software do you use to create the score and music moving together? I'm a choir teacher and think it would be a great way for my kids to learn their music.
does anyone have any tips to a young tenor aspiring to be the best on singing the top b near the climax of this great piece, help would be highly appreciated
I’m 10 years too late but if you are singing a b, you are a third too high! My recommendation is lots of puff and go for it (it doesn’t feel “that” high.)

That divisi is sublime
This has my favourite Amen. Would be lovely to have it in the responses too.

MANY thanks morphthing1 for taking the time to make these kinds of postings. So handy for note-bashing.
I got to sing this in choir. Thanks much for posting :)
I sang this in choir at ST John the baptist West Byfleet Surrey England. Nice Posting.

Very good indeed
Very moving and dramatic.
thank you!
@jrankney use the pdf of the music from cpdl. Then simply use windows movie maker to join it all together.

Thank you for sharing. I suppose this is the Winchester Cathedral choir too?

Beverley not Beverly
Eek. Isn't it a bit slow for minim equals 60? Lovely, though. Singing it in a few weeks, but we'll stick to Stanford's tempo to save breath. ;)
