Review published in the September edition of the Royal School of Church Music magazine:

*** O BE JOYFUL IN THE LORD
Lincoln Cathedral Choir / Charles Harrison (organ)/ Aric Prentice
Guild GMCD 7325

The performances on this disc are of the very highest order and the various psalms that are sung to Anglican chant are models of perfection: both in terms of the singing and the accompanying. Each chanted psalm is paired with an anthem/motet-type setting; and these include Stanford’s Jubilate in B flat (Ps. 100), Byrd’s Sing Joyfully (Ps. 81), Lennox Berkeley’s The Lord is my Shepherd (Ps. 23), Palestrina’s Super flumina Babylonis (Ps. 137), and Schütz’s An den Wassern, zu Babel (also 137)with Colin Walsh at the harpsichord. The solo in Mendelssohn’s Hear my Prayer (Ps. 55) is sung by Avalon Summerfield with just the right balance between drama and innocence. A fairly rare – and all the more welcome – performance of Jonathan Harvey’s atmospheric I love the Lord (Ps. 116) is included; and a sumptuous rendition of Elgar’s mighty Give unto the Lord (Ps. 29) brings this first class disc to a rousing conclusion.
