Goose bumps! Sang this as a Chorister (1963 - 1971) at Leeds Parish Church UK. Nice rendition, well done.

0:32 thank you, I sang on that choir

[@charleshiggs7536]

Absolutely terrific!

[@Musica-gd7qd]

Wonderful performance!!

[@bluranger3689]

I remember singing this in Carlisle cathedral for eveningsong. That was fun :D

[@Gamer-ji1uf]

One of my favourites

[@morphthing1]

hi, yes the file was recorded of the webcast, I use a programme like camstudio to record screen activity with sound and then use an audio extraction software like AOA audio extractor to get the MP3 out, quality is obviously not as good as CD but it gets the job done.

[@betz554]

Incredible.

[@texlad04]

No. US choirs typically do the straight text. Some places get permission to do the entire service in 1662, e.g. Incarnation in Dallas, the only church in North Texas with weekly Evensong.

@morphthing1, I'll be downloading AOA soon. thanks again.

No video? I'm here watching it now with audio...Must be an error on your computer.

[@19shea85]

Amazing performance! I wonder who the one loser is who voted thumbs down on this video. What a sad soul they must be.

Is the "Hence[forth - sung by one lonely voice?]" to do with differences between the BCP and whatever the Episcopal Church in America uses?

[@lkjkorn19]

While I am no fan of religion in any way, this piece is really impressive and very well sung, too.

[@picard2bridge]

It's a great performance. I just find it lacking in subtlety a bit, and in particular in that rich operatic sound of the basses--just a little oversung to my mind.

[@JB-hh3tk]

Awful vibratto

[@tbridge001]

'Hence[forth]' is an overdone feminine ending :-D Nice to hear it from an American choir, but a bit over the top here...

[@highlandconsort]

Well, I'm assuming this is from John Scott's tenure . . . .

[@Ken_oh545]

A tad self-conscious!

[@Russelleo]

go to lpool cathedral well better than this im a chorister on cantores there

[@JB-hh3tk]

Why so much vibrato in the men's voices . :/

[@missasinenomine]

They sound like angry Policeman.

[@simongleaden2864]

I'm no fan of operatic-style vibrato in Anglican choral singing, but I didn't really notice it here, so in my view it wasn't particularly excessive.
