Today’s worldwide Anglican Church enjoys an enviable choral tradition with hymns – many written and composed by vicars and churchmen – at its heart. The inspired poetry and musical genius of Anglican Hymnody down the centuries are heard at their best in this wide-ranging collection. From the serene and reflective The Lord’s my Shepherd to the rousing rendition of Jerusalem, these hymns, some accompanied by brass ensemble, have a greatness and a purity that lift the spirit.
