Psalm 8, Anglican Chant - Walmisley

[@pipeup1]

Every time I hear this Psalm chant it conjures up the essence and tradition of the Anglican faith in my mind! Ah the good old Church of England!

I think it is the rising octaves that make it sound exciting. Very nice.

Why is this such an exciting chant ?
Walmisley organist of Croydon Parish Church in 1830 and then at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1833. He soon became prominent by his anthems and other compositions. Simultaneously organist for the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge. He took the degrees of Mus.Bac. and Mus.Doc., and also graduated at Jesus College as BA and MA.
In 1836 Walmisley was made professor of music. His Cathedral Music was edited after his death by his father. Wikpaedia

My very favourite chant. This choir sings, this as richly as I have heard sung in Canterbury Cathedral.

A classic example of the english liturgical music tradition. It's simplicity and beauty are really something special. It's a shame than most episcopal churches in the US are so liberal, and saccharine in their liturgical approach that most parishes never move past singing hymns written and composed in the 80's
