Howells Requiem 1933 Johnson Conspirare

[@RobertHiggs-nw4vi]

Such exquisite beauty and so sensitively sung, a fusion of great composition and choral expertise

[@timstone5168]

I sometimes wonder how a choir can sing such music and not get choked up by the sheer emotion of it. The third movement is so impossibly beautiful and sad.

I sang this at my cathedral two years ago on All Saints. Trust me, there was silently weeping after we were done on the final cadence. And I wasn't the only one.

We do!

Thanks for this marvelous upload... It drives me to tears and serenity. Howells was a genius...

Third movement sends shivers down my spine, it's so good. I'm starting to imagine myself conducting it and getting caught up in the emotion of it.

Hi Dave, thank you so much for posting this utterly gorgeous piece of music. i have only recently discovered H.H, especially his Hymnus Paradisi. Beyond words really. It affects you at a much more profound and deeper level than everyday listening. Sublime and incredibly moving. What a talent he was and yet he is not mentioned in the same breath as EE, BB, RVW, GF, etc. He bloody well should be!!!!!!!

I sang this when I lived in chicago a couple years ago with an excellent group that exists up there. So sad to have had to leave a group which did material like this so well, but life goes on.

What a performance!! This beautiful piece of music is very difficult to sing. I'm looking forward to performing it in Lyon, France, in November. I humbly hope we will do a decent job.

A stunning performance by truly great artists.

I did this with West Village Chorale (NYC) and loved it. What a beautiful recording this is.
