An album of works composed by Archer during his tenure as Organist and Master of the Choristers 1998-2003. Includes the lyrical Wells Service, the jazz-inspired Clifton Service, and the serene, homophonic Christmas motet O Magnum Mysterium. From festive double-choir anthems to reflective a cappella settings, the collection showcases Archer’s versatile and hauntingly beautiful harmonic language.
