THE PSALMS OF DAVID: ONE, TWO AND THREE ARE ALL INCLUDED ON THESE CD'S; SO WHY SPEND YOUR MONEY IN-DI-VID-U-AL-LY????
The book of Psalms is a collection of 150 Hebrew religious poems which were sung to music in the worship of the temple of Jerusalem. The Psalms of these discs give some idea of the emotional range of these poets, for they voice joy and sorrow, thanksgiving and despair, penitence and faith, hope and love.
The structure of the psalms has influenced the manner of singing them. Broadly speaking, psalms have been sung to three types of music: (1) plainsong, (2) hymn tunes and (3) Anglican chant. These records illustrate the third method.
Since there are many collections of chants, there are differing conventions, some of which are: two sides of the choir (Descani and Cantoris) sing alternate verse or half-verses, or men alternate with boys. In some choral establishments the singing is always supported by the organ; in others some psalms are sung unaccompanied. Many of these possibilities of expressive contrast are illustrated on these discs.
Of course, we have here many varied King's College Choirs from the year 1968 - 1972 (Willcocks-director) and 1974 (Ledger). As per usual there is very little difference in sound between them. We still are graced with the clear crystalline sound of the boy sopranos, the velvet-toned male altos, the tuneful tenors and the resonant basses. The overall result is a choir with excellent balance, great emotional investment, clear diction and that 'special' unnamed something that this choir possesses. This is a truly inspiring musical treat that can be enjoyed by all choral music lovers, but especially meaningful to the believer.
