Howells Choral Music (Hyperion CDA67494, CD) September 2004

Featuring Wells Cathedral Choir Ned Berry
Recorded as Malcolm Archer’s farewell from Wells Cathedral prior to his prestigious appointment to St Paul’s in London, this generously filled disc presents some of Howells’s best choral works. In 1944 Howells wrote a set of Morning Canticles for King’s College, Cambridge. With the Evening Canticles recorded here coming the following year, the ‘Coll. Reg.’ settings immediately set the benchmark for twentieth-century liturgical composition and led to the composer being besieged by requests from cathedrals and collegiate chapels for other such ‘custom-built’ settings. This programme includes the Morning Canticles and the Evening Canticles which constitute the ‘New College Service’. Several of the other pieces included on this disc are less famous, but all display their composer’s inimitable mastery of form and choral technique.

1. A Sequence for St Michael		Soloist: Karen White, Soprano; Iain MacLeod-Jones, tenor
2. A Hymn for St Cecilia
3. O Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
4. Te Deum 'St George's Windsor'
5. Benedictus 'St George's Windsor'

11. Sing lullaby
