Vaughan Williams: Earth's Wide Bounds

This album is a choral compendium of works by Ralph Vaughan Williams comprising premiere recordings of both the Communion Service in G minor and the Nocturne: By the Bivouac's Fitful Flame, plus the Te Deum in G and hymns and anthems including Valiant for Truth. The centrepiece here is the first complete recording of the Communion Service in G minor the 1923 English translation and revision of the Latin Mass in G minor which had been published just a year earlier. In keeping with the 1662 Anglican communion service then in use, the Gloria comes at the end; the service begins with sung responses to the ten commandments, read for us here by Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury.
