About

Recorded as Malcolm Archers farewell from Wells Cathedral prior to his prestigious appointment to St Pauls in London, this generously filled album presents some of Howellss best choral works, some well known, others less so. In 1944 Howells wrote a set of Morning Canticles for Kings College, Cambridge. With the Evening Canticles recorded here coming the following year, the Coll. Reg. settings immediately set the benchmark for twentieth-century liturgical composition and led to the composer being besieged by requests from cathedrals and collegiate chapels for other such custom-built settings. It was the composers innate understanding of the individual characteristicsacoustic, architecture and choral timbreof each foundation which made these works so successful and popular. This programme includes the Morning Canticles written for St Georges Chapel in Windsor Castle and the Evening Canticles which constitute the New College Service. Ever the master of the choral miniature, the Three Carol-Anthems are among Howellss most perennially popular works, having been recorded and performed across the globe. Several of the other pieces included here are less famous, but all display their composers inimitable mastery of form and choral technique.
