Great choral settings of the psalms

Celebrate the ancient words of the psalms with us, and two birthdays! Sir John Rutter is 80 this year, Orlando Gibbons a little older, dying 400 years ago this year.

The ancient words of the psalms have inspired composers through the ages to write some of our best-loved choral music. We've selected just some of this great music for our summer concert:

Orlando Gibbons O clap your hands
Handel Lift up your heads (from Messiah)
Herbert Howells Like as the hart
Felix Mendelssohn I waited for the Lord
Claudio Monteverdi Beatus vir, Cantate Domino
Philip Moore All wisdom cometh from the Lord
Henry Purcell I was glad
John Rutter Psalmfest
Anna Thorvaldsdottir Heyr รžu oss himnum รก
Janet Wheeler Beati quorum via
