Herbert Howells - Long, long ago (score video)

[@JonathanOblander-p7e]

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

I hadn’t heard that before. Instantly recognisable as Howells, yet fresh notwithstanding! He really was a master.

beautiful- almost feels like a warmer precursor to take him, earth in a way

[@crazyherisson6500]

Never heard this great piece before. Many thanks Joshua.

[@trislanderadventures]

Just a masterpiece pure and simple

[@r.i.p.volodya]

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