    So evocative of the sea. It ebbs and flows, winds strengthen, waved crash. Hurry, to harbour!

    I didn't know that music so beautiful could possibly be composed after the 19th Century. Absolutely stunning!

    This is my all time favourite performance of the work.

    A wonderful acoustic Hereford with a first rate cathedral choir. Superb counter tenors second to none. Tuning and dynamics perfect throughout. Will never forget Richard Winnall's voice in particular with that rich counter tenor sound. Thank you for this - a trip down memory lane having used to live in Hereford with the cathedral and its wonderful choir just down the road from where we lived.

      Was the general opinion from a lot of RSCM folk at this time and into the 90's. Roy Massey and Hereford cathedral choir set the standard.

    Thank.you TH-cam. A huge, deep, powerful musical rendering of remembered from childhood words and they turn out to be a psalm. The awe of recognition of the enormity of everything but hope in deep waters

    I just LOVE the way that the mood changes at "...he delivereth them out of their distress"

    I remember this being a favorite by the boy choristers, in the various choirs I have sung. They always like to sing most anything by Gibbons too.

    I have always wanted to see the sheet music for this. Shame it can't be found online.

    I like the Billings version, but this is OK. The organ has all the power of the sea.
    Now, what is that wonderful image, please?
