WILLAN: In the Heavenly Kingdom
A choirboy in his youth, Healey Willan had a life-long passion for the human voice. Not counting his output for organ, chamber music and orchestral works, the bulk of his almost 800 compositions involved voice in one form or another. Born in England, Willan moved to Canada in 1913, where he dominated the field of sacred music. This anthology includes Willan’s most popular choral work, Rise up my love, a wonderful illustration of the famous words ‘a true church music is beautifully fit and fittingly beautiful’.
