    One of the most sublime recordings I've ever heard-- in its ensembles' performance, both instrumental and choral, its arrangement, its direction, its composition, and in its simple and simply beautiful and heavenly praise of Our Lord Jesus Christ 👑✝️🕊️🎶♥️ Thank you for posting it.

    I had the chance to be on tour with him, and to pass a very agreable train ride with him. Lovely, charming and witty man.

    Thanks for highlighting this Edward, fab vid. WK was after my time but to be compared with Donald Sweeney (bass, of course) is something.

    These choral sounds and high standards of singing in choirs and congregations are disappearing forever.
