I was looking for a CD for a sick friend who is very much in need of something to raise her spirits. What I really wanted was BBC Songs of Praise without the pretentious solo stuff, really sing-a-long-able. These are hymns remebered from childhood, sometimes in unison, sometimes in wonderful arrangements for parts, all sung to the very high standard that could be expected from such a renowned choir. There is a book of all the words to the hymns so joining in is made easy. If one was too tired to join in then it is equally uplifting to just listen. I loved it so much that I bought a copy for myself too.
