Only just catching up with this service. Big, bold, confident singing from what seems a large choir. The canticles and anthem suited their romantic, expressive, attacking style. I enjoyed it! Psalms were very business like and dispatched quickly, a strange sounding introit (glad that was over early!)Organ playing matched the exuberant singing. Great!

SC-T canticles wholly new to me: of their era, but no worse for that and worth another airing.

Yes new to me too. I first heard them on a webcast from Trinity Cambridge. 8 October last year if you want to hear another, and quite different, airing.
