The Ecclesium Choir, under the direction of Stephen Hamill and Richard Campbell, brings these compositions to life with a reverence and precision that will captivate any listener.
From the opening notes of "I Heard the Voice of Jesus" to the triumphant finale of "The Easter Song of Praise," Shephard's work is a blend of traditional hymns and original compositions that celebrate the rich tapestry of British church music. The album features a diverse range of pieces, including excerpts from The Tryon Service, and settings of texts by notable lyricists such as Fulbert of Chartres, Thomas Campion, and Horatius Bonar.
With a duration of over an hour, this album offers a comprehensive exploration of Shephard's contributions to sacred music.
