Peter Hallock is a composer who should be much better known. For many years the organist/choirmaster at St. Mark’s Cathedral (Episcopal) in Seatte, he has some wonderful compositions. For more information about him and to find his music, see his publisher’s page: http://ionianarts.com/Home.php

 

A recording I made much earlier with Choral Arts in Seattle includes this anthem and a number of other works: http://www.gothic-catalog.com/Cathedral_Anthems_Choral_Arts_p/lrcd-1001.htm

 

Their catalogue also includes a CD of Peter’s work with the Compline Choir at St. Mark’s (an all-male ATB ensemble which still sings the service of Compline every Sunday evening): http://www.gothic-catalog.com/SearchResults.asp?Extensive_Search=Y&Search=sparks&Search.x=24&Search.y=6
