Anglican Psalter by Pointed And Edited For Chanting By John Scott
Using Coverdale's translation of the Psalms from the Book of Common Prayer, the very best of Anglican chant is married to texts that have been used to sing the transcendent glory of God for three thousand years. The Psalms are ruthlessly honest in their portrayal of conflicting human emotions, and many psalters have excised the verses that speak of vengeance, hatred and anger. Acknowledging that these emotions are also part of human experience, the Anglican Psalter retains this material, to be included or omitted as local preference or the occasion dictates. Includes work by renowned composers past and present including Elgar, Parry, Stanford, Stainer, Wesley, Malcolm Archer, David Willcocks, John Barnard, and many more.
John Scott is one of the world's leading organists and choir trainers. He was Organ Scholar of St John's College, Cambridge, making his solo Proms debut whilst still a student. He served as Director of Music of St Paul's Cathedral for fourteen years before joining St Thomas' Church, New York, as Director of Music in 2004. He was made Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO), in recognition of his services to church music.
