The church music of Victorian England has always retained a secure foothold; not so the secular part-songs recorded here. Written to complement the Elizabethan madrigals which were then being rediscovered and performed, an unjustly neglected corner of the English vocal repertoire is revitalized by Rupert Gough and Royal Holloway Choir.

Tracks:

Elgar:
To her beneath whose steadfast star

Goodhart:
Lady on the silver throne

Leslie:
My love is fair
Sophie Edwards (soprano), Leilani Barratt (alto), Tom Robson (tenor), Ciaran Walshe (bass) & Stephen W Salts (bass)
Thine eyes so bright

Parry:
Who can dwell with greatness!
La belle dame sans merci

Pearsall:
Sing We and Chaunt It
Light Of My Soul
Summer is y'coming in
Great God of Love
Lay a garland

Stainer:
Disappointment
Like as a ship
Dry your sweet cheek
The castle by the sea
Flora's Queen

Stanford:
God and the Universe
On Time
