Completing the album is Ralph Vaughan Williams’s setting of Mr. Valiant-for-Truth’s speech from John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” This album is the final release in this series of recordings from the Saint Thomas Choir of Men & Boys and their late director John Scott. The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys is considered by many to be the leading ensemble of its kind in the Anglican choral tradition in the United States. The Choir performs regularly with Orchestra of St. Luke’s, or with the period instrument ensemble, Concert Royal, as part of its own concert series. Its primary raison d’être, however, is to provide music for five choral services each week.  Price: $25.98 |
