Product description

Immerse yourself in the profound and evocative choral masterpiece of Herbert Howells with this exquisite 1999 release from Chandos. This album features two of Howells' most celebrated works: the monumental "Hymnus Paradisi" and the charming "A Kent Yeoman's Wooing Song." Composed in the wake of personal tragedy, "Hymnus Paradisi" stands as a testament to Howells' genius, blending soloists, chorus, and a large orchestra to create a deeply moving and spiritually uplifting experience. The work is divided into six sections, each offering a unique blend of solemnity, hope, and transcendence. Complementing this is "A Kent Yeoman's Wooing Song," a secular cantata that showcases Howells' versatility and craftsmanship. This album, recorded with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus under the baton of Richard Hickox, is a must-listen for anyone appreciating the depth and beauty of choral music. With a total duration of approximately 65 minutes, this album is a captivating journey through the rich tapestry of Herbert Howells' musical legacy.
