Info & track listings

At first glance, this CD might appear to contain a random selection of hymns, some of which will be familiar, some will not.

There is, however, a pattern underlying the choice of hymns that echoes many of the constant cycles which speak deeply to our nature and to the rhythm of our lives. It is a pattern of beginnings and ends, of life and death, of times and seasons, most of which mark the special moments of our life both in and outside the Church.

Portsmouth Cathedral Choir is made up of around 24 choristers and 12 gentlemen and, in the tradition of the Anglican Church, contributes to the pattern of daily worship. The choristers are drawn from the Portsmouth Grammar School and from St Jude’s and St John’s College.

The gentlemen represent many professions, working throughout Hampshire, in West Sussex, and even on the Isle of Wight.
