Notes & Reviews:
In the vast choral repertoire of the twentieth century, the music of Herbert Howells stands apart: unmatched in its color and expressivity and unfailing in its ability to move hearts. In this collection of choral favorites, Gloriae Dei Cantores perform the Sequence for St. Michael, Requiem, Take Him, Earth for Cherishing, and Te Deum Laudamus. This recording was made with generous support from the Herbert Howells Trust.
