I am such a massive fan of Barry Rose and his work, it's amazing to hear more of the Guildford Cathedral Choir. He knows how to make any choir sound as amazing as Westminster's. I've had several experiences working under him and he is such an amazing conductor and composer, he truly is a blessing in the Anglican choral community. Thank you so much for posting these!
Sorry it's this new subscriber again I'd forgotten what a WONDERFUL anthem this is Now THAT'S a piece from the Edwardian period and did I spot a phrase from "The Spirit of the Lord" from Elgar's "The Apostles" or something very like it? And even three or four notes from Parry's "I Was Glad" towards the end? And LOTS of Stanfordian flavour!! THANKS FOR 7-letters four-letters fill in the blanks I LUV ARCHIVES OF SOUND (David learn to spell!!)
also john ireland met elgar a couple of times, once in 1904 at the home of the cellist Basil Nevilson (one of the people in the enigma variations), where Elgar told Ireland that it would be unlikely for Ireland to make a living from composing in England because the english only respect foreign composers. Their next encounter was at a musical soire when Ireland was 30 years old.
A score of the music can be seen at www2.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Greater_Love_Hath_No_Man_(John_Ireland)
A thrilling performance of this superb and very beautiful anthem. One of my favourites to sing and listen to.
Ours, too! Glad you enjoyed listening.

You're very welcome. We will pass your thanks on to Barry.
P.S. Westminster?
I'm sorry, I said Westminster thinking of Westminster's Abbey choir. Have a lovely day! :)
You might have meant the Tube station... :-)
