PORTSMOUTH CATHEDRAL CHOIR - Plainsong: The Echo Of Angels

�He Who Sings Prays Twice�, so said St Augustine of Hippo. The music of Gregorian Chant, or plainsong is the Church�s most ancient form of chanted prayer, and perhaps its most haunting and beautiful. It can transport, delight and transform. This recording is a snapshot of how plainsong is used at Portsmouth Cathedral, from the simplest of psalms sung at weekday Evensong, a great hymn marking a major Feast Day such as Veni Creator for Pentecost, or through its use in simple motets as set here by the Cathedral�s Director of Music, David Price.
