Congratulations Benedict: not only are the singers in your choir marvelous, your conducting is crystal-clear, and you're a talented composer I'll be introducing to France! Your recital as part of the Estivales de la Treille in Lille Cathedral was exceptional. Looking forward to hearing you again soon in Lille If I weren't working, I'd become a pilgrim and walk to Canterbury to hear you again and again.

    Mr. Preece, the choir sang this again last night (to my surprise) at the Benediction following the Musical Oratory of Advent. Words cannot describe how beautiful this piece of music is when you hear it live, as I did. As they sang it, Sean slowed the pace gradually, throughout, with a clear decrescendo. By the end it was nearly pp, and the Amen then had a "< >". Truly incredible work, sir.

    • @benedictpreece
      @benedictpreece 9 місяців тому

      I am so deeply honoured that it was performed again. I heard Sean and the choir’s previous performance of it and was blown away by their beautiful interpretation. Thank you for letting me know that it was sung at the Benediction. One day I would love to come and hear the choir in person! Benedict

    Beautiful work. Sublime. I hear Purcell very much in this, as well as Byrd’s echo in the English Services. But mysteriously, I also hear the reaching chords and silences of Faure and Durufle. How very moved I am by this honest take, this severity in motion as one sits in the pew and wrestles on the grave matter at hand: if these words are indeed true, that it is the body and Blood of Jesus Christ Thomas wrote this hymn to, then it is Everything. Thank you for this.
