Lo, star-led chiefs (William Crotch) - Guildford Cathedral Choir (Barry Rose)

Guildford Cathedral Choir, directed by Barry Rose:
Concert in the chapel of Charterhouse School, 21 February 1966:
(The music is a chorus from Crotch’s oratorio “Palestine”, which was first published in 1818)
Lo! star-led chiefs Assyrian odours bring,
And bending Magi seek their infant King!
Mark’d ye, where, hov’ring o’er His radiant head,
The dove’s white wings celestial glory shed?

What a glorious sound from the trebles. As the result of a typo in the parish office, this was always known in my church choir as "Lo, startled chiefs".

So sweetly it comes to my ears!

Always hope to hear this featured on Choral Evensong after the new year. First heard it more than 40 years ago and loved it ever since. This is a fine recording, thank you.
