The popular seasonal music of the English Georgian parish church - often called gallery music - yielded a wonderfully rich harvest of hymns, carols and anthems. Drawn from a repertoire only recently rediscovered and recorded on the Hyperion label by the choir Psalmody and The Parley Instruments, these new editions offer a sparkling array of fresh, alternative Easter and passiontide music. Titles: The Dying Christian to his Soul * Birmingham * On the Resurrection * Kingsbridge * Crucifixion * Resurrection * Anthem * An Hymn for Easter Day
