About

For thirty-two years the Abbey School Choir sang daily evensong in Tewkesbury Abbey. for their recording swansong, the choir offers a treasurable memento of this uniquely English office; complete with lessons and prayers, this sumptuous tapestry of Anglican jewels also includes the first recording of Gabriel Jackson's refulgent new setting of the evening canticles.

Benjamin Nicholas reveals that he has trained the men and boys of Tewkesbury Abbey School into a choir of exceptional quality. Their superlative choral tone is complemented by masterly organ accompaniments from Carleton Etherington and a glorious recorded sound.’ - International Record Review
