Oxford Choral Classics: English Church Music assembles in two volumes around 100 of the finest examples of English sacred choral music of the past five centuries.The first volume dedicated to anthems and motets presents both favourite and lesser-known works from the exceptional Renaissance polyphony of Taverner Tallis and Byrd through the Restoration led by Purcell to the glorious works of the great nineteenth- and twentieth-century composers including Wesley Elgar Stanford Vaughan Williams and Howells.The volume contains a number of more substantial works including Mendelssohn's Hear my prayer Stainer's I saw theLord and Naylor's Vox dicentis: Clama as well as a wonderful selection of shorter pieces from Gibbons's O Lord in thy wrath to Walton's Set me as a seal upon thine heart. With the second companion volume of canticles and responses this bipartite collection presents a comprehensive survey of English sacred music at its best.

& Epiphany for Mixed Voice Choirs Vol. 2-Noël 2 is an exciting collection of Advent Christmas and Epiphany music for mixed voice choirs which follows on from the highly acclaimed Noël!

He was awarded an honorary Doctorate by the University of Southampton in 2002 in recognition of his Services to Music.'Noël was a welcome addition to the Christmas list for decent standard choirs; Noël 2 adds even more to the repertoire in a handy volume...The main enticements are some fantastic new arrangements of old favourites a number of works previously only available in single sheets (Whitacre's Lux Arumque among others) and some fantastic new surprises. Adrian Peacock's Venite Gaudete is a wonderfully original and vibrant setting Richard Rodney Bennet's I Wonder as I Wander is both reflective and effective and there are plenty more.Some of the pieces here will challenge your choir but there's a vast amount to get the Christmas inspiration flowing.' - Jonathan Wikeley Music Teacher November 2009
