About this release

The tradition of hymn singing is one of the central parts of Christian heritage and liturgy. The singing of hymns has had, and continues to have, a significant importance in the Church today whether that be in the form of plainsong, chorales or the contribution of the Protestant traditions of Western Europe. This recording seeks to capture some of the nest of these hymns as well as to introduce some contemporary tunes and illustrate how composers have adapted them as settings for choirs.
