This is the full score of Herbert Howells' 1950 composition Hymnus Paradisi for Soprano and Tenor Soli SATB chorus and orchestra. Now available for the first time in print this score has been prepared from the known sources revised and edited with critical commentary and includes a preface by Paul Spicer and introductory notes by Sir David Willcocks. Four of the choral movements (II-V) are settings of Latin and English texts. These are drawn from the Psalms and the 'Miss pro defunctis' the book of Common Prayer and are immemorial reflections upon the transient griefs and indestructible hopes of mankind. All are appropriate to the mood and purpose ofa Requiem. Movement VI is a setting of lines from the Salisbury Diurnal used here in the translation by Dr G. H. Palmer appearing at the end of Robert Bridges' Anthology The Spirit of Man. The first performance was at the Three Choirs Festival at Gloucester on 7th September 1950 which the composer conducted. The Bach Choir gave the first London performance early in 1951 and recorded the work in 1970 with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Sir David Willcocks.

Herbert Howells composed his Magnificat And Nunc Dimittis evening canticles for St Paul's Cathedral in 1951 going on to become among his most famous and enduring works. These beautiful canticles were composed by a master of setting the Anglican liturgy and are arranged for SATB Chorus and Organ Accompaniment.  These two wonderful works of choral music are characterised by a unique blend of unison harmonies and disparate melodies that highlight each voice perfectly. The lingering notes crescendos and subtle dynamic changes were composed with the acoustics of that great cathedral in mind but they also workequally well in any setting.

Of the 11 surviving settings of the Mass by Charpentier the present work the Messe de minuit is without doubt one of the most popular. Although Charpentier's Parisian career is quite well documented little is known about the genesis and first performance of the Messe de minuit. It is likely however that it was commissioned by the Jesuits of the church of Saint-Louis (today Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis) for whom Charpentier had been working as maître de musique since 1687. The Messe de minuit belongs to the tradition of the parody-mass for which Charpentier adapted 10 noëls - whose titles are given in the autograph MS - to the text of the ordinary and theresulting music is fresh charming and jubilant.

Celebrated arias selected from oratorios by old and modern composers. Edited by Max Spicker.

Hear My Prayer Oh Lord manifests Purcell’s genius not only in his unerring setting of each line but in addition of challenging intervals and discordant moments to what is a deceptively simple melodic line. Purcell’s affecting anthem Hear My Prayer Oh Lord was writing in 1680 approximately and is likely to be part of a larger unfinished work. The autograph manuscript is held in the Cambridge Fitzwilliam Museum from which John E West has edited this rendering of the work.

Composed by John Tavener through commission by the Royal British Legion for the Festival of Remembrance. First performed on the 8th November 2003 at the Albert Hall London.
