This collection of fifteen compositions is full of beautiful, haunting, uplifting and inspiring melodies for mixed voices with and without organ accompaniment from one of the most treasured British choral composers. The brilliant choice of texts throughout is matched only by the sheer compositional skill of Whitbourn in evoking the emotions of the words in the musical form. The volume also includes suggestions for seasonal use, a list of recordings, and fascinating notes written by the composer.
