The celebration of the Holy Communion (or Eucharist) is central to the worship of the Christian Church, instituted by Jesus himself at the Last Supper. At Exeter Cathedral an early morning celebration takes place every day of the year, with a more elaborate sung service on Sundays and major Saints’ Days. The musical repertoire for these services is broad and varied, drawing on many European schools of composition from plainsong to the present day. This disc features two settings of the ‘Ordinary’ of the Mass by contemporary English composers.

The Choir of Exeter Cathedral has a long and interesting history. It has sung the liturgical services of the church almost without interruption since at least the thirteenth century. Several famous church musicians have been closely associated with the Cathedral’s music, including Matthew Locke (chorister in the 17th century) and S. S. Wesley, England’s foremost Cathedral organist of the 19th century. The Choristers are educated at the Cathedral School, which is a very ancient establishment. In 1993 a girls’ choir was formed and the choir now consists of 20 boy choristers, 20 girl choristers and 14 gentlemen.
