Description
Angel voices ever singing presents an imaginative setting of Francis Pott's well-known hymn 'Angel voices ever ringing' in triple metre.
Characterful and contrasting organ writing underpins the melodically and rhythmically interesting vocal lines, with an Alto solo in the fourth verse providing textural contrast.
This anthem was premiered by the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, and St Paul's Cathedral for the festival of St Cecilia, and is a notable work by Bob Chilcott, one of the world's most widely performed composers and arrangers of choral music.
