5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Collection of Mostly Anglican Hymns and Anthems, 21 Nov 2003

By	J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Who would have thought that a choir based in the village of Elora, Ontario (just north of Kitchener and Guelph, and west of Toronto) would be the home base for the only professional church choir in Canada, and one of the best such choirs in North America? It is the handiwork of Noel Edison, its founder and director, who also directs the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. Well, since picturesque Elora is home to the Elora Festival, an annual summer festival dedicated to vocal music, and Edison is its founder and director, too, I guess it should come as no surprise.

This disc is a congeries of choral pieces whose primary connection with each other is that they mostly come out of the Anglican musical tradition. There are familiar hymns such as 'Abide with Me' (set to W. H. Monk's tune, 'Eventide') and high-art compositions like Healey Willan's three Marian motets, 'I Beheld Her,' 'Fair in Face,' and 'Rise Up My Love.' Some are Canadian and some are English in origin. The only ringers are Mozart's 'Ave Verum Corpus,' that well-loved staple of church choirs the world over, and the almost-English Mendelssohn's 'Verleih uns Frieden' ['Grant Us Peace']. All are sung gorgeously by the Choir of St. John's Church, Elora. Most are accompanied by the former organist of St. John the Divine in New York City, Paul Halley, who also contributes descants to a couple of the hymns and who arranged an effective anthem from Gordon Slater's simple hymn, 'Jesu, the Very Thought of Thee.'

Among music written in the last 100 years is John Ireland's hymn 'My Song is Love Unknown,' surely one of the loveliest of his creations, which has here been enhanced by Halley's soaring descant. New to me is Latvian-born Canadian Imant Raminsh's 'Ave Verum Corpus,' a five minute anthem with hushed but piquant harmonies. Herbert Howells's 'Te Deum,' well-known in Canada and England, is rarely heard here and is, I know from experience, a powerful experience to sing; it is similarly moving to hear.

An extraordinary find for me is Willan's 8-minute-long 'Gloria Dei Per Immensa Saecula,' a well-crafted motet written for five parts whose cumulative effect is persuasive. The sopranos sound a bit taxed by the piece's high-flying tessitura, the only evidence of any strain on the entire disc.

Giving the CD its title is 'Faire is the Heaven,' a double-chorus anthem by Sir William Henry Harris (1883-1973) set to Spenser's well-known poem. The arch form is emotionally satisfying and the sudden key change at the climax is still startlingly effective.

One last word: I have heard one previous recording of Willan's three motets also sung by a Canadian choir--that of Willan's old church, St. Mary Magdalene in Toronto--and the present recording is much more expressive.

Recommended.
