This is a recording of Georgian music for Holy Week, Easter and funerals ranging from the simple psalmody associated
with the galleries of rural parish churches to elaborate orchestral anthems written for the groups which developed
into the Victorian choral society tradition. While the composers' names will not be familiar, this is nonetheless
music of a striking and vigorous nature, here performed by the choir Psalmody - the experts in the field.
Recorded in the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk, on 10-12 September 1997
