There is a splendid upload entitled "Paul's Children" which was made by the BBC in 1978 and which shows Barry Rose with his boy choristers making some superb music. Well worth a viewing.
As mentioned, the sound and video quality is not the best. But the energy of the performance cannot be surpassed. I think that is Sir David Willcocks conducting, and Christopher Dearnley at the organ. It was a Great Occasion, and this clip is a fine reminder of it.
The conductor is not Sir David Willcocks. That is Dr Barry Rose OBE, Master of the Choir from 1977 to 1984. Sir David conducts at the end of the service for the Laudate Dominum.
Brian McKay Thank you for the correction! Sorry about the mistake. I have enormous respect for Dr. Rose, as well as for Sir David. And thank you also for the suggestion about "Paul's Children." I will hunt this up and view it.
1981 - most people in the UK didn't have a VCR, then, & if you did have one, the recording quality wasn't good - problems with the tracking of the picture, among other things.
I like it!🤩
I have a vinyl record of the music from the wedding and I can tell you that this sounds beyond magnificent 🎶❤️
An absolutely magnificent piece. I love to sing to this - I try to do it justice(!).........
No better royal music than this!
The Prince commissioned this piece specifically for the wedding, so this was its world premiere.
PLEASE NOTE: The correct title of this piece is "Let the people praise thee, O God"
not true👎

Similar in one way to ‘I was glad’ it builds and builds to high treble note finale.

Anyone interested in Barry Rose's time at Guildford will find a great deal of material on our channel, all of it better recorded than this!
It’s Barry Rose conducting and John Scott playing

Wondering if William and Kate will use this in their ceremony
