Notes
Elgar’s sacred choral music possesses the same innate qualities so admired today in his orchestral music, namely an unerring sense for musical development and drama allied to a glorious ear for melody. This collection follows him from early settings for the Catholic liturgy, such as the three Opus 2 anthems written after he had succeeded his father as organist at St George’s in Worcester, right through to his heyday as the Empire’s bestknown composer, commissioned to write powerful settings such as Give unto the Lord for St Paul’s Cathedral in 1914. Great is the Lord of 1912 is considered his sacred masterpiece.

Reviews
Elgar’s shorter Latin settings, Ave verum corpus, Ave Maria, Ave maris stella, O hearken Thou and O salutaris hostia, are all quite lovely. The more ambitious Te Deum and Benedictus was written for the Hereford Three Choirs Festival of 1897 and, like the Psalm setting Great is the Lord (first heard at Westminster Abbey in 1912), shows Elgar at full stretch. It is also good to have the serene Prologue to The Apostles (1903), The Spirit of the Lord, and, finally the two memorable excerpts from Elgar’s first oratorio, The Light of Life, notably the stirring Light of the world, which is the exultant closing chorus. Splendid singing throughout and excellent recording make this a collection to treasure. ***
