One of my all time FAVORITE anthems.

Brilliant. Soloist has a beautiful voice.

Excellent, dignified, graceful. Glad to say it finally put me in the Christmas mood

I came across David in a Pianostreet discussion thread. His dedication was evident in his desire for others to 'hear' what he was saying, and in this video his Passion is evident. It's only yesterday that my mind and ears opened to the richness of unequal temperament, and grasping the degree of subtleties, the nuances, that the great composers were conveying.

Really enjoyed watching this, I remember Ralph recommended I get in touch with David about learning how to tune this way! Very interesting for someone with pitch (and used to equal temperament through an orchestral background) to hear those luscious home keys sounding so resonant! Interesting too that the F# harmonic example didn't follow the harmonic series we're used to in audio (root, octave, 3rd, 5th, octave, 3rd, 5th, 7th, octave, 9th etc)

My advice to James would be to study in Germany like me if you like this stuff like in Cologne Conservatoire or somewhere. I got free German RP there that really does help.

So ethereal and uplifting! Otherworldly! I love this anthem!

Such a moving piece! I’ve sung many, and this is one of the best!

When I was conducting my youth orchestras many years ago, I had a reckoning with myself and decided that "good things in rehearsals also count as a success" and that it didn't all have to go right in the concert. True, the audience didn't get to hear those purple patches - but we did! (Chatting years later with one of the players, she remarked on one specific play-thru in one of those rehearsals - which I still remember to this day :-) so definitely important.)

34:47 AL - advantages of single-sex choirs meaning there is an opportunity for communication between different age groups (ie socially) - very good point!

As a violinist it was great to hear insight into orchestral and choral conducting, and its differences, from Edward. Great conversation!

Ashley is amazing! Glad to listen to him here!

This is all quite incredibly amazing, and all due praise to Ralph and each chorister, organist, and each technician involved.

So is this does live? How do you sync up and avoid lag?

Martin Smith's comments notwithstanding, I adore choral evensong as an art form and it's great to hear Ralph Allwood's endorsement many years after leaving school where he made the Eton College Music Society such fun.

I go to Saint James king Street Sydney. The oldest church in Sydney. We have evensong on Wednesdays.

I'm a Piano Technician and I've always thought that I was a nerd. Nope. This sets a new bar. That being said, this is a beautiful example of the Tuner's Art. I personally like this system well, but I doubt that we're every going to get any serious takers. Folks are just too used to 12ET.

What a performance.

Fantastic! And great conducting the from Ralph!

Bravo!

the first note he plays is out of tune, then he announces he's done.

One good tip I was given with modulation from my theory tutor in Wuppertal Professor Petra Obenaus was so simple, sharps go up flats go down, that's how Mozart wrote and resolved them in the same chord in his Italian sixths. It's such an easy modulation by step. The German word for secondary dominant I think is Zwischendominante with the sense of an in between chord that modulates up a semitone naturally, when you get the sharpened bass note in the chord 27b which is of course a German sixth modulating to 57 and I in Bach. It's the easiest modulation sharpen the bass by 2 semitones and drop the fifth. I went through musical history and pre C.20 tonality.

Wonderful singing, guys! Great rendering too. Great sound engineering. That's what I'm studying in my relative old age of 44. I'm in month 5. I started singing degrees when I was younger in London and Wuppertal but never finished off. I sang on the 1995 and 1996 choral courses. I made mistakes with my career but I did get somewhere with it. I got a review in the Wuppertal Times, got on a Holman recording, and got some limited pro work in Germany, and 2 concerts for Aldeburgh Voices under BP. I got Junges Theater Goettingen Summer opera 2002 and some gigs in Cologne where I sang Purcell. I now sing baritone had enough of counter.

Typically Equal Temperament allows you to more easily play in all keys

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Hello, isn't this a bit pro-Protestant? Surely Evensong pre-dates The Reformation as Compline and Evening Prayer; dating back to Saint Benedict. I like you personally, but this is simply twisted, Ralph!

Date of the Steinway? Temperament?

Fine

I was very surprised to see the arch-atheist Stephen Fry taking part in what is suppose to be an act of Christian worship, not a concert performance.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent work, carry on this great work,Thankyou so much

Fabulous presentation, Ralph! Excellent points & great enthusiasm. You call this guy up in Texas after 25 years and he’s at his organ with the music turned exactly to the page of your favorite 9th chord. I call up my mate down the street and get filtered directly into spam. It appears I’m stuck in the old heaven.

“For the former things are passed away” is a stunning phrase. Its ethereal legato more than makes up for the syllabic overcrowding of “the tabernacle of God.”

Excellent selection of examples, Ralph. Very well done, indeed! When are you going to discuss the Cowboy chord? The genius of the Cowboy chord.

Fabulous vid. Any youtube that gets somebody off the piano bench and 1/2 way up a ladder gets my thumbs up. Bravo, my friend!

Finally managed to watch this and it's wonderful. Mixture of music and readings - perfect. Will have to watch again. First knew John Rutter at Primrose Hill - long time ago.

Thank you. Lovely to see some of the kids of my church, St John the Divine, Kennington SW9 in 'Away in a manger' (vv 2&3).

A wonderful service! I particularly enjoyed the Jingle Bells arrangement and John Rutter's witty reading.

Perfect - or near as - after so little Christmas music here. Thank you

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you

Here we go! A great way to mark the end of a difficult but interesting year!

Welcome everyone! Here we go!

UA-cam very kindly directed me to this. How wonderful! May a New Heaven arise from our difficulties.

Thank you for the blessing of this wonderful music - helps us all to stay relatively sane in these challenging and difficult times

Just so lovely to see these future classic musicians. we wish them well in the future of music making.

Lovely selection, especially Autumn Leaves

fabulous

please could we have some Dysons singing Parry

Lovely singing James! Enjoying your commitment to the text.

Excellent. ,promising voices for tomorrow concert halls/Cathedrals back rows
