Thank you so much. I absolutely love this hymn - so appropriate for this coming Sunday 'Christ the King'. The descant is amazing!

We sang this absolutely Majestic hymn on Sunday...And I cannot stop listening to it... The descent is indeed amazing...👌👌

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.

[@lindsaygray2246]

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.

so beautifully done and i hope one day you visit portsmouth cathedral and give a performance. this is sung so prayerfully and the descant is so wonderful. thank you best wishes Natalie

[@caritasconsort]

@@NatalieJmedia - thank you! So glad that you enjoyed this! We aren’t able to come to Portsmouth but may just perform it later this year … if you could send me your email address to [e-mail] I’ll add you to the Caritas guest list so that you receive concert info.

Heavenly! Bravo. 😊

[@mauricehoughton7514]

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

[@lindsaygray2246]

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...

[@stepps511]

My most recent "favourite" hymn tune! Beautifully sung.

[@olorunlekemorakinyo5365]

A beautiful arrangement superbly delivered. I won't mind to have the music sheet.

Amazing hymn, beautifully sung

Wer hat das komponiert? Könnten Sie bitte den gesungenen Text einstellen? Es ist sehr schön.

[@mudgebauer]

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.

[@perrych2012]

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

[@lindsaygray2246]

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!)

[@jameslowery4621]

Should be able to conduct a hymn from the organ if played correctly with expression

[@helenshingler-gv5mz]

Being able to see a conductor at work with a choir is glorious. Thank you.

[@pobbob335]

[@clivesawers8270]

@@jameslowery4621 I do agree with you; too many organists don’t themselves understand this vital point.
