Based on the Novello hymn-anthem collections, the programme explores a vast range of styles, from George Herbert’s 17th-century poetry to more recent worship songs. Featuring works by Parry, Howells, and Harris, alongside arrangements by Barry Rose, the collection demonstrates the evolving beauty of the hymn-anthem tradition through four centuries of sacred music.
