St Augustine's Whitton, Middlesex. Evensong. 1974 -1984. The choir - of which I was part of as a boy and teenager - invariably outnumbered the congregation. We'd sing these psalms, and they would echo around the high vaulted ceiling. Halfway through the service a nominated choirboy would take a long mahogany handled snuffer and extinguish the two altar candles. The residual smoke would rise and be caught in evening sunshine flooding through the leaded windows, or if the sun had already gone, drift up on invisible draughts to the dim lights hung from the ceiling. Even now, the smell of a snuffed out candle takes me straight back to those blissful, innocent times. Thank you God for giving me those times. The best of my life.
The Anglican musical heritage is a priceless window into heaven. This represents the highest aspirations of humanity and, in particular, the glory of the English musical offering to the ineffable mystery of God. Always inspiring.
In my youth at Morning Prayer, canticles, at Holy Communion the Priest would turn around roughly in the middle and deliver "comfortable words," at age 3 or 4 these words attracted my ear, so poetic and beautiful, "Come unto me all ye that travail and are heavily laden and I will refresh you." There is so much poetry and beauty and mystery in Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer, I guess that's why they don't use it anymore.
What a magnificent heritage! This is heaven on earth! I was at Guildford Cathedral in 1985. Attending a short course at University of Surrey! God bless ALL participants. 💓💐💖 GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY!
I was the Head Chorister of Shalford Church, just a short drive from the cathedral, around 1970/1. Every now and then, and always at Christmas, we would be a kind of guest choir at the cathedral, and I would often sing solos, I sang to Barry Rose's wonderful organ playing a few times. If anyone who was in Shalford 's choir around this time reads this, and remembers me (Mark Wyatt) it would be nice. Back to the music now.....
I was a chorista in a cathedral back home in Uganda from the age of 9, We used to sing most of these chants, I didn't only enjoy but it also brought back all my childhood memories. Very good harmonies especially in minor keys, it's rely awesome, thanks again for this upload, God richly bless you.
At sixty seven, I hardly find anything music that holds my attention for long. Until now. These chants I have been listening to for over one year now, still ever so refreshing. To God be the glory.
Praise and worship conducted through the correct channels of considered musical form such as melody and harmony is certainly to access and practice Divinity.
Father, I thank you that I am allowed to listen to a choir praising you. Please guide me through your HOLY SPIRIT in CHRIST JESUS' Name and bless those being in need. Amen.
I have been left out by many people and friends, but the lord of host is still with me. whenever i hear this chant its motivate me that i we soon become someone in life, i dont ridicul myself that i didnt have none for now...... but with this chant that always inspired me, am sure the GOD of host we remember me for good when the time is reach..
In my post-graduate days, I attended Trinity Episcopal in Boston, MA. The choir regularly sang a setting of the 95th Psalm and, as it was forever stuck in my head, tried to rediscover that particular hymn psalter. Alas, the setting was that John Gross Psalm 33 that is on this video. Praise God! 20 years on, and now a Wesleyan minister, i shall look to have this done in our congregation. Thanks
So wonderful! Shows just how beautiful the church can be when we embrace the use of music to glorify our God. The best art comes from the Christian tradition. We really need to do a better job of embracing it's role in the modern day.
You are reading the wrong hymns them. A lot of the more modern stuff is pretty insipid, but anything from before 1850 is usually pretty good. I mean, Watts, come on.
Oh these hymns sothe my soul i think of nothing when listening to them its like the wind of peace They are my good night soothing music 🎶 Just like any Anglican I love my Hymns Bless the name of the Lord.
The chanting of the psalm is my favourite part of the Anglican service. Thanks for putting this on here. I absolutely love them and come here often to listen to them.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; for laying aside all excuse, we sinners offer to Thee, as to our Master, this supplication: Have mercy on us. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. O Lord, have mercy on us, for in Thee have we put our trust. Do not be angry with us, nor remember our iniquities, but look down on us even now, since Thou art compassionate, and deliver us from our enemies. For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; we are all the work of Thy hands, and we call on Thy name. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Thank you so much for collating and taking the time to produce this for all who ache to hear this glorious music during these times of covid. As a chorister at St. James Cathedral in Toronto, listening to this brings tears to my eyes and heart of gratitude.
I joined the choir at St. Barnabas in Portishead age 5 as my Mother said it would help my reading ! Did my first solo Anthem Lead me Lord aged just 6. Singing Psalms weekly became part of my life under the eyes of my Grandpa who was Parish Warden in the local Parish Church. All of this helped when I started at Clifton College in Bristol. What a fantastic Organist at the College who only had one arm? Douglas Fox was such a character. My memories of him with the College Choir In Choral Festivals in Bristol are unmovable.
May the praise of God never depart from our lips. Really inspiring spiritually. I will chant the Psalm whenever I have the opportunity to sing to the Lord. Praise God.
Chants revive my spirit right within me. Thank God for this wonderful choir. I know some of them are with the Lord and singing with the heavenly choir. May you be blessed.
Thanks be to God I discovered once again a song of my childhood Ps 8 which sings to me with such joy and power that I feel strong again and enabled to continue with my daily task. What is your task? To be loving in thought and word and deed if I can, without a selfish heart. Thanks be to God and God bless Japan abundantly all family and all friends, all the people now here in this good land amen I love this good land and say the word love (ai) with purpose, remembering good friends in Korea China Taiwan also - and not forgetting Philippines etc but one cannot mention all the people in the whole world by name.
Just found these. A lovely sound. The word-painting (and general clarity of the words) is remarkable. Nothing is ever rushed. And these Psalms always seem to end so thoughtfully. Thanks Barry.
J us t performed as I regularly heard psalms sung at their best 50 yrs. Ago. MY brother was an organist who was in charge of a church choir as a teenager.Loved those times!
How beautiful!... All the Choirs in Heaven rejoice! Thank you so much for sharing this delight for the soul! Thank you for all the work that went into putting this together and giving it here to us... that is very much appreciated.
It is such a Choral Treat to hear perfect Chanting, as I was trained many years ago. I started aged 6 at St Barnabas Church in Portishead In 1942. It is not surprising that my late Son Christopher who started playing the Organ in Beaulieu Abbey aged eight spent many of his teenage hours composing Chants and mush other Church Choral Music from age 12. Thank you.
Listening to these chants has been very inspiring for me. I listen to them for hours and I felt so calm and relaxed after listening to them. Now I 'm hooked for life .
Thanks for all the work uploading: I'm sure it is appreciated by all listeners. Some odd pointing here and there, I thought - and some chants that don't seem to be ideal for the subject-matter of the particular psalm to which they are set. But, overall, what magnificent compilation of music, words and truly beautiful singing. We are blessed, I would suggest, to have such bounty available to us, free of charge and available whenever we log on to the internet. 🙂

O Christ our God, You are worshiped at all times and in all places and are glorified both in heaven and on earth. You are patient, generous in mercy, rich in compassion, loving to the just and merciful to the sinner. You call all of us to repentance through the promise of blessings to come. O Lord, receive our supplications at this very hour. Direct our lives in the way of Your commandments. Sanctify our souls, purify our bodies, set our minds aright, cleanse our thoughts, deliver us from all affliction, wrath, danger and need. Surround us with Your holy angels, so that, guided and guarded by their ranks, we may reach unity of the faith and the knowledge of Your unutterable glory. You are blessed unto ages of ages. Amen
Thank you, Anne Francis Elizabeth for this work. Now I can find the Psaalm I want for Daily Worship because you care enough to take the time to do this which benefits us all. Blessings to you, my Dear
Even as an ‘heretic’ who doubts the ‘inerrancy of scripture’ (I spent 30 years poring over the oldest Greek & Hebrew MSS) I can appreciate the spiritual pow’r of an all-boys’ choir (from ages 7 to 17) singing in the Anglican church-stile - such ‘spiritually pure sounds’ absolutely transcend any gross-corruptions of hand copied sacred texts over time that lay persons cannot even read in the original … The peculiar English traditional ‘chant-style’ transcends the mundane ev’ryday & brings the soul into a kind of re-alignment with the cosmic energies of all the Multiverses in all the dimensions - maybe I’m being prejudice’d because I am of ‘English descent’ and was educated in the UK as a teenager & young-adult when I was expos’d to some of the best boys’ choirs in Britain
As a choir boy at the Methodist Church Chants and Canticles are truly spiritually inspired as well as the former Hymns unlike the new-age hymns probably inspired for commercial purposes
PSALM 8 O LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world: thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies: that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained. What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him lower than the angels: to crown him with glory and worship. Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands: and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet; All sheep and oxen: yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea: and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas. O Lord our Governor: how excellent is thy Name in all the world! FOR LYRICS FOR THIS RECORDING, SEARCH FOR PHRASE IN PSALM 99: "punishedst their own inventions" on the rmjs website.
The whole compilation is, well, heavenly beautiful. And it is quite difficult to point out the most favourite one from such set. But if I were to chose one, it would be Psalm 6.
St Augustine's Whitton, Middlesex. Evensong. 1974 -1984. The choir - of which I was part of as a boy and teenager - invariably outnumbered the congregation. We'd sing these psalms, and they would echo around the high vaulted ceiling. Halfway through the service a nominated choirboy would take a long mahogany handled snuffer and extinguish the two altar candles. The residual smoke would rise and be caught in evening sunshine flooding through the leaded windows, or if the sun had already gone, drift up on invisible draughts to the dim lights hung from the ceiling. Even now, the smell of a snuffed out candle takes me straight back to those blissful, innocent times. Thank you God for giving me those times. The best of my life.
The Anglican musical heritage is a priceless window into heaven. This represents the highest aspirations of humanity and, in particular, the glory of the English musical offering to the ineffable mystery of God. Always inspiring.
Agreed (by an Irish catholic).
I agree also. I am Romanian Orthodox. Psalm 106 gave me goose bumps. May God bless you.
That's the basic truth my brother. God Almighty bless you and your family.

Uganda. So interesting! Minor key is sublime.
Nice memories I also remembered I had no opportunity to be a chorister but I love this chants
Good music
Rich music; the chants do aid meditation. Very good.
A good experience you have there 🤗
At sixty seven, I hardly find anything music that holds my attention for long. Until now. These chants I have been listening to for over one year now, still ever so refreshing. To God be the glory.

Heavenly chants! I’m blessed to be able to sing these chants in our Ordinariate Chair of St. Peter Catholic parish.
Father, I thank you that I am allowed to listen to a choir praising you. Please guide me through your HOLY SPIRIT in CHRIST JESUS' Name and bless those being in need. Amen.
What a balm in these troubled times. Heavenly and a real godsend.
I Anglican tradition.from North Central Nigeria

I miss this in our church these days. We don't even have a choir. Thanks for this collection.
Proud Anglicans like here
Same Here.
Never mind the politics. Henry Vlll was an unregenerate monster. This is the Word of the LORD!
Udoka Eze yes sir ❤️🙏
@@missasinenomine The English reformation was not about Henry, he was merely the catalyst.
@@missasinenominethis is the word of the LORD comes after a scripture reading. What you said isnt scripture.
Truly beautiful. As a chorister for over 40 years now I just love singing the Anglican psalms.
Vivian Venn Amen Vivian 🙏
Without this I can’t go to bed ❤❤❤❤❤ ooh how I love my Anglican chants ❤️❤️❤️
In my post-graduate days, I attended Trinity Episcopal in Boston, MA.
The choir regularly sang a setting of the 95th Psalm and, as it was forever stuck in my head, tried to rediscover that particular hymn psalter.
Alas, the setting was that John Gross Psalm 33 that is on this video.
Praise God!
20 years on, and now a Wesleyan minister, i shall look to have this done in our congregation.
Thanks
Since my church went woke I have to find comfort wherever I can. Thank you for this beautiful reminder of what was.
So wonderful! Shows just how beautiful the church can be when we embrace the use of music to glorify our God. The best art comes from the Christian tradition. We really need to do a better job of embracing it's role in the modern day.
Unfortunately it depends on capitalism... and market is not interested to be still stood... sad!
This is heavenly, the Anglican Communion is blessed
"The Psalms are the inspired Word of God. Hymns are the all too often uninspired words of man." Sir David Willcocks, 1975.
You are reading the wrong hymns them. A lot of the more modern stuff is pretty insipid, but anything from before 1850 is usually pretty good. I mean, Watts, come on.
@@justforever96 "inspired" not "inspiring". It changes the context slightly.
And yes, modern Christian _industry_ music is absolute garbage.
Calming, soothing and peaceful. God bless His people.
Thank you.
Amen
Oh these hymns sothe my soul i think of nothing when listening to them its like the wind of peace
They are my good night soothing music 🎶
Just like any Anglican
I love my Hymns
Bless the name of the Lord.
Thank you for unloading these. I've been 100% atheist since the age of 8, but these are a comforting reminder of childhood church visits.
The chanting of the psalm is my favourite part of the Anglican service. Thanks for putting this on here. I absolutely love them and come here often to listen to them.
Thanks Lisa, Anglicanism Is the true way to christ
O Lord, our Lord., how majestic is thy Name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:1) From the lips of children (choristers) you have ordained praise. (2)
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; for laying aside all excuse, we sinners offer to Thee, as to our Master, this supplication: Have mercy on us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
O Lord, have mercy on us, for in Thee have we put our trust. Do not be angry with us, nor remember our iniquities, but look down on us even now, since Thou art compassionate, and deliver us from our enemies. For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; we are all the work of Thy hands, and we call on Thy name.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Thank you so much for collating and taking the time to produce this for all who ache to hear this glorious music during these times of covid. As a chorister at St. James Cathedral in Toronto, listening to this brings tears to my eyes and heart of gratitude.
I joined the choir at St. Barnabas in Portishead age 5 as my Mother said it would help my reading ! Did my first solo Anthem Lead me Lord aged just 6. Singing Psalms weekly became part of my life under the eyes of my Grandpa who was Parish Warden in the local Parish Church. All of this helped when I started at Clifton College in Bristol. What a fantastic Organist at the College who only had one arm? Douglas Fox was such a character. My memories of him with the College Choir In Choral Festivals in Bristol are unmovable.
I feel like flying into heaven anytime. I listen to the Anglican chants. So awesome
May the praise of God never depart from our lips. Really inspiring spiritually. I will chant the Psalm whenever I have the opportunity to sing to the Lord. Praise God.
Chants revive my spirit right within me. Thank God for this wonderful choir. I know some of them are with the Lord and singing with the heavenly choir. May you be blessed.
Thanks be to God I discovered once again a song of my childhood Ps 8 which sings to me with such joy and power that I feel strong again and enabled to continue with my daily task. What is your task? To be loving in thought and word and deed if I can, without a selfish heart. Thanks be to God and God bless Japan abundantly all family and all friends, all the people now here in this good land amen I love this good land and say the word love (ai) with purpose, remembering good friends in Korea China Taiwan also - and not forgetting Philippines etc but one cannot mention all the people in the whole world by name.
Thanks for the word of God that we may pray with songs of praise. God bless you all
Just marvelous....always inspiring....and soothing
This is wonderful - thank you!
Just found these. A lovely sound. The word-painting (and general clarity of the words) is remarkable. Nothing is ever rushed. And these Psalms always seem to end so thoughtfully. Thanks Barry.
J us t performed as I regularly heard psalms sung at their best 50 yrs. Ago. MY brother was an organist who was in charge of a church choir as a teenager.Loved those times!
PRAISE OUR LORD LIVING GOD, WHO IS FLOATING WITH ME WITH THIS PSALMS AND CHANTS HYMNS❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is delight to rediscover a magnificent form of worship such as this.
Beautiful words and soothing to the ear and relaxing to tye heart.
This takes me back, 32 years, singing in our school Chapel choir.
Hallelujah and praise into our lord Jesus.nice job

How beautiful!... All the Choirs in Heaven rejoice! Thank you so much for sharing this delight for the soul! Thank you for all the work that went into putting this together and giving it here to us... that is very much appreciated.
You're welcome. It's people like you who make it worthwhile.
This is lovely, actually my morning tea 🍷🍷, glory be to the father and of th son and of the Holly spirit, 💪💪💪✌️✌️AMEN
It is such a Choral Treat to hear perfect Chanting, as I was trained many years ago. I started aged 6 at St Barnabas Church in Portishead In 1942. It is not surprising that my late Son Christopher who started playing the Organ in Beaulieu Abbey aged eight spent many of his teenage hours composing Chants and mush other Church Choral Music from age 12. Thank you.
Be consoled, your late son is in the place of Uncreated Light now.
These boys are extremely lucky. I was a chorister for 5 years. It made my life. I will never forget that music.
1:06:00 "For his mercies endureth forever" brings peace to my soul🙏
Listening to these chants has been very inspiring for me. I listen to them for hours and I felt so calm and relaxed after listening to them. Now I 'm hooked for life .
We don't know whether to rejoice or apologise!
Thank you for this beautiful psalms
Thank god for our Majesty Queen Elizabeth on my birthday 25-02-1961 🙏 25-02-2020 long may she reign ❤️🌹🙏
As an artist working from my studio here in Toronto, this beautiful music gives much inspiration to each work of art. Thank you, Owen Leo
That's quite an accolade! Thank you.
Soy católico. La música preciosa. Muchas gracias y que Dios os bendiga
Que Dios te bendiga también.
Simply beautiful. Thank you!
To God be the glory and praise Amen Hallelujah!
Excellent and relaxing listening
Thanks for all the work uploading: I'm sure it is appreciated by all listeners. Some odd pointing here and there, I thought - and some chants that don't seem to be ideal for the subject-matter of the particular psalm to which they are set. But, overall, what magnificent compilation of music, words and truly beautiful singing. We are blessed, I would suggest, to have such bounty available to us, free of charge and available whenever we log on to the internet. 🙂

Beautiful psalms, thanks !
O Christ our God, You are worshiped at all times and in all places and are glorified both in heaven and on earth. You are patient, generous in mercy, rich in compassion, loving to the just and merciful to the sinner. You call all of us to repentance through the promise of blessings to come.
O Lord, receive our supplications at this very hour. Direct our lives in the way of Your commandments. Sanctify our souls, purify our bodies, set our minds aright, cleanse our thoughts, deliver us from all affliction, wrath, danger and need. Surround us with Your holy angels, so that, guided and guarded by their ranks, we may reach unity of the faith and the knowledge of Your unutterable glory. You are blessed unto ages of ages.
Amen
What a beautiful psalm

Thank you for taking the trouble to provide this. It's very useful to have an index for ease of locating a particular psalm.
@@ArchivesofSound I agree !
Thank you, Anne Francis Elizabeth for this work. Now I can find the Psaalm I want for Daily Worship because you care enough to take the time to do this which benefits us all. Blessings to you, my Dear
This is most appreciated!
Been on my wish list since I started listening to these chants. Thanks.
Fantastic!
Thank you!
This is awesome, thanks for the upload.
Glad you appreciated it.
Came upon this, while listening to Psalm Choir, wow this music is awesome, thank you for sharing.
Balm for the soul! Thanks be to God.
Even as an ‘heretic’ who doubts the ‘inerrancy of scripture’ (I spent 30 years poring over the oldest Greek & Hebrew MSS) I can appreciate the spiritual pow’r of an all-boys’ choir (from ages 7 to 17) singing in the Anglican church-stile - such ‘spiritually pure sounds’ absolutely transcend any gross-corruptions of hand copied sacred texts over time that lay persons cannot even read in the original …
The peculiar English traditional ‘chant-style’ transcends the mundane ev’ryday & brings the soul into a kind of re-alignment with the cosmic energies of all the Multiverses in all the dimensions - maybe I’m being prejudice’d because I am of ‘English descent’ and was educated in the UK as a teenager & young-adult when I was expos’d to some of the best boys’ choirs in Britain
Heart touching praise the Lord hallelujah
Simply superb.
Thank you.
This is soul lifting. Beautifully rendered
Beautiful ❤️
It calls your attention from the busy world for reflection on where reality dwell.
Thank you very much I LOVE IT
Wonderful. Thank you for putting this together. The Lord richly bless you all.

As a choir boy at the Methodist Church Chants and Canticles are truly spiritually inspired as well as the former Hymns unlike the new-age hymns probably inspired for commercial purposes
Praise to the Lord is most comely!
I wish I could give more up votes... I keep coming back in times of need. THank you for this music!
You're welcome. Your appreciation matters a good deal more to us than any "up" votes.
PSALM 8
O LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world: thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens!
Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies: that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.
What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him lower than the angels: to crown him with glory and worship.
Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands: and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet;
All sheep and oxen: yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea: and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
O Lord our Governor: how excellent is thy Name in all the world!

Thank you All and Merry Christmas All 2020!!!
Thank you thank you. Psa 8 is my firm favourite. Amen
You're very welcome. It's interesting how people chose different psalms as their favourites.
Listen again to Psalm 115 (Non nobis). It is a magical chant.
The whole compilation is, well, heavenly beautiful. And it is quite difficult to point out the most favourite one from such set. But if I were to chose one, it would be Psalm 6.
Thank you so much !! True Heaven !!
Thanks be to God!
