I love the special music of Herbert Howells. Many cherished memories of playing and directing his church music.

Couldn't be anyone else but Herbert Howells! Touches of other settings (M&N especially) throughout. Always managed to create a glorious and uplifting ending.

3:44 Benedictus 4:16 hosanna 4:49 hosanna 7:36 Gloria 8:44 God the father

[@YKW2]

Yes! 9:42. THIS is how you do that dotted triplet rhythm in the Gloria. Dr Cleobury knew his stuff (RIP)
