This is a good example of a fine composer of church music producing something exquisite and yet extremely simple. This is one of my favourite chants, which perfectly matches the beautiful words of this psalm.
St. Paul's has its own Psalter, with all the Psalms set to spectacular chants such as this. This is the tradition of Anglican Church Music, present in many Episcopal Churches, but not in favor except in churches that can support a full choir and care about their heritage of excellence.
Sublime! thanks for posting! ` "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Cor.15:1- 4
@MRKENNEDY1693 Do you mean her 100th birthday? King George and Queen Elizabeth the queen mother had a silver wedding service of Thanksgiving at St. Pauls in 1948.
Not at such, no. So if you had attended this service or were to attend evensong on a day this psalm was sung, you would hear them with the cathedral's natural acoustics. It sounds though like for this recording they might have used a set of microphones such that they could record the soloist from right next to him - and then switch back when the full choirs sings.
I had a recording (years ago) of this setting Ps 121 with a Requiem text (the introit, in Latin)--does anyone know of it? This performance by St Paul's, while beautiful and elegant, is quite slow and heavy for Anglican chant. But a wonderful go-to for the Davies. Thank you, InQuires!

At our church, we used to sing this on Remembrance Sunday- i think its been composed by H Walford Davies. a very beautiful chant.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
That is so beautiful

I remember a young boy growing up a chorister and still one love it, love Tedium, etc etc.
i would LOVE to be a member of this church....sadly im here in the United States :(
Lovely setting of this Psalm.
Awesome singing
Stunning performance, the treble solo especially so. St Paul's misses John Scott a great deal.
Yes, this is the Walford Davies setting
Gorgeous! I believe the occassion was the Queen Mother's 100th birthday thanksgiving service, and not the Queen's 50th jubilee. Thank you for posting.
hey these guys dont use microphone? specially during solo?

I know this is often a psalm for the order of burial but their tempo is really slow. Beautiful but slow,.
Pls I would like to know the name of the chant used for this psalm and where it was taken from.
Not at such, no. So if you had attended this service or were to attend evensong on a day this psalm was sung, you would hear them with the cathedral's natural acoustics.

Agreed with avgguy
And yes, I believe this is Davies...not 100% sure, though
