WALTON: Twelve (The) / Coronation Te Deum / Missa Brevis

Working over a span of some sixty years, William Walton created a relatively small corpus of sacred choral music which includes some of the finest works in the canon. The Twelve, Coronation Te Deum and Set me as a seal are enduring masterpieces to be heard in churches and cathedrals across the English-speaking world.
