I adore this hymn and your version really helps draw out the beautiful harmonies. I used to worship occassionally at St Martin's Roath - its acoustics are stunning! Thank you.
Thanks Will! It’s a fabulous hymn, isn’t it; this was our first session back in 2021 after lockdowns so it has extra poignancy for us in Caritas. Totally agree re the acoustics in St Martin’s; we still occasionally rehearse and record there.
Glad you enjoyed it, Maurice! That was our first return to action after the three lockdowns - 2021 - so we had to grab the opportunity at short notice and assemble a group without preparing all the concert gear...
Really nice hymn and well done. The sanctuary is ugly. All those words as a back drop for the altar is really disturbing. Im sure it isnt what the sanctuary originally looked like. Put a nice red velvet dossal curtain there instead with a large crucifix and it will look more like a church rather than a advertisement for something.
I’m sorry that you thought this; we were limited in terms of where we could place the camera on this occasion…. and I promise that I wasn’t seeking any limelight (or even to be in the shot at all!)
An amazing hymn and the harmonies are beautiful, and i just loved the descant.
Thank you so much. I absolutely love this hymn - so appropriate for this coming Sunday 'Christ the King'. The descant is amazing!
@@sallykimmis4637 - Thank you, Sally. So glad that you’ve enjoyed this; it’s a fabulous hymn, isn’t it! And Naylor’s own descant is brilliant too!
We sang this absolutely Majestic hymn on Sunday...And I cannot stop listening to it... The descent is indeed amazing...👌👌
@@ruthliberty2366 - so glad that you enjoyed this, Ruth! It’s a fabulous hymn, isn’t it; and Naylor’s own descant is just perfect for the last verse!
love this performance, of the wonderful Coe Fen. Gorgeous descant too.
@@helenlunt9148 - thank you; so glad they you enjoyed this. It was our first outing in 2021 after lockdowns!

Absolutely delightful sound (but I had to forgive with difficulty the over casual dress code)

My most recent "favourite" hymn tune! Beautifully sung.
Amazing hymn, beautifully sung
A beautiful arrangement superbly delivered. I won't mind to have the music sheet.
Fabulous.
Excellent singing - making fine use of the accoustics. Michael Bradley
The descant is glorious - thank you indeed. (From Sydney, Australia)
Thank you! Yes - it’s a stunning descant, written by the composer of the tune.

Just wonderful, but visually ruined by the conductor - they do love to hog the limelight sometimes.

Should be able to conduct a hymn from the organ if played correctly with expression
Being able to see a conductor at work with a choir is glorious. Thank you.
