St Augustine's Whitton, Middlesex. Evensong. 1974 -1984. The choir - of which I was part of as a boy and teenager - invariably outnumbered the congregation. We'd sing these psalms, and they would echo around the high vaulted ceiling. Halfway through the service a nominated choirboy would take a long mahogany handled snuffer and extinguish the two altar candles. The residual smoke would rise and be caught in evening sunshine flooding through the leaded windows, or if the sun had already gone, drift up on invisible draughts to the dim lights hung from the ceiling. Even now, the smell of a snuffed out candle takes me straight back to those blissful, innocent times. Thank you God for giving me those times. The best of my life.

The Anglican musical heritage is a priceless window into heaven. This represents the highest aspirations of humanity and, in particular, the glory of the English musical offering to the ineffable mystery of God. Always inspiring.

Am proudly Anglican this chants makes my day . Glory be to the father, to the son and to thy holy ghost amen

In my youth at Morning Prayer, canticles, at Holy Communion the Priest would turn around roughly in the middle and deliver "comfortable words," at age 3 or 4 these words attracted my ear, so poetic and beautiful, "Come unto me all ye that travail and are heavily laden and I will refresh you." There is so much poetry and beauty and mystery in Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer, I guess that's why they don't use it anymore.

The internet needs more of this.

Father, I thank you that I am allowed to listen to a choir praising you. Please guide me through your HOLY SPIRIT in CHRIST JESUS' Name and bless those being in need. Amen.

At sixty seven, I hardly find anything music that holds my attention for long. Until now. These chants I have been listening to for over one year now, still ever so refreshing. To God be the glory.

Anglican hymns...My heritage 😍

What a balm in these troubled times. Heavenly and a real godsend.

This is heavenly, the Anglican Communion is blessed

I was the Head Chorister of Shalford Church, just a short drive from the cathedral, around 1970/1. Every now and then, and always at Christmas, we would be a kind of guest choir at the cathedral, and I would often sing solos, I sang to Barry Rose's wonderful organ playing a few times. If anyone who was in Shalford 's choir around this time reads this, and remembers me (Mark Wyatt) it would be nice. Back to the music now.....

I Anglican tradition.from North Central Nigeria

I miss this in our church these days. We don't even have a choir. Thanks for this collection.

Catholic here. Blessed by listening to this heavenly music. Thank you very much.

The joy of the English musical tradition offering worship to the mysterious God in whom we all move and have our being.

Without this I can’t go to bed ❤❤❤❤❤ ooh how I love my Anglican chants ❤️❤️❤️

Proud Anglicans like here

What a magnificent heritage! This is heaven on earth! I was at Guildford Cathedral in 1985. Attending a short course at University of Surrey! God bless ALL participants. 💓💐💖 GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY!

Thank you for unloading these. I've been 100% atheist since the age of 8, but these are a comforting reminder of childhood church visits.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost for ever and ever, Amen

Thank you so much for collating and taking the time to produce this for all who ache to hear this glorious music during these times of covid. As a chorister at St. James Cathedral in Toronto, listening to this brings tears to my eyes and heart of gratitude.

The chanting of the psalm is my favourite part of the Anglican service. Thanks for putting this on here. I absolutely love them and come here often to listen to them.

In my post-graduate days, I attended Trinity Episcopal in Boston, MA. The choir regularly sang a setting of the 95th Psalm and, as it was forever stuck in my head, tried to rediscover that particular hymn psalter. Alas, the setting was that John Gross Psalm 33 that is on this video. Praise God! 20 years on, and now a Wesleyan minister, i shall look to have this done in our congregation. Thanks

O Lord, our Lord., how majestic is thy Name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:1) From the lips of children (choristers) you have ordained praise. (2)

I was a chorista in a cathedral back home in Uganda from the age of 9, We used to sing most of these chants, I didn't only enjoy but it also brought back all my childhood memories. Very good harmonies especially in minor keys, it's rely awesome, thanks again for this upload, God richly bless you.

I feel like flying into heaven anytime. I listen to the Anglican chants. So awesome

So wonderful! Shows just how beautiful the church can be when we embrace the use of music to glorify our God. The best art comes from the Christian tradition. We really need to do a better job of embracing it's role in the modern day.

Chants revive my spirit right within me. Thank God for this wonderful choir. I know some of them are with the Lord and singing with the heavenly choir. May you be blessed.

Truly beautiful. As a chorister for over 40 years now I just love singing the Anglican psalms.

"The Psalms are the inspired Word of God. Hymns are the all too often uninspired words of man." Sir David Willcocks, 1975.

Just found these. A lovely sound. The word-painting (and general clarity of the words) is remarkable. Nothing is ever rushed. And these Psalms always seem to end so thoughtfully. Thanks Barry.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; for laying aside all excuse, we sinners offer to Thee, as to our Master, this supplication: Have mercy on us. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. O Lord, have mercy on us, for in Thee have we put our trust. Do not be angry with us, nor remember our iniquities, but look down on us even now, since Thou art compassionate, and deliver us from our enemies. For Thou art our God, and we are Thy people; we are all the work of Thy hands, and we call on Thy name. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

This is wonderful - thank you!

Thanks for all the work uploading: I'm sure it is appreciated by all listeners. Some odd pointing here and there, I thought - and some chants that don't seem to be ideal for the subject-matter of the particular psalm to which they are set. But, overall, what magnificent compilation of music, words and truly beautiful singing. We are blessed, I would suggest, to have such bounty available to us, free of charge and available whenever we log on to the internet. 🙂

May the praise of God never depart from our lips. Really inspiring spiritually. I will chant the Psalm whenever I have the opportunity to sing to the Lord. Praise God.

I joined the choir at St. Barnabas in Portishead age 5 as my Mother said it would help my reading ! Did my first solo Anthem Lead me Lord aged just 6. Singing Psalms weekly became part of my life under the eyes of my Grandpa who was Parish Warden in the local Parish Church. All of this helped when I started at Clifton College in Bristol. What a fantastic Organist at the College who only had one arm? Douglas Fox was such a character. My memories of him with the College Choir In Choral Festivals in Bristol are unmovable.

J us t performed as I regularly heard psalms sung at their best 50 yrs. Ago. MY brother was an organist who was in charge of a church choir as a teenager.Loved those times!

PRAISE OUR LORD LIVING GOD, WHO IS FLOATING WITH ME WITH THIS PSALMS AND CHANTS HYMNS❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the word of God that we may pray with songs of praise. God bless you all

PSALM 8 O LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world: thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies: that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained. What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him lower than the angels: to crown him with glory and worship. Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands: and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet; All sheep and oxen: yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea: and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas. O Lord our Governor: how excellent is thy Name in all the world! FOR LYRICS FOR THIS RECORDING, SEARCH FOR PHRASE IN PSALM 99: "punishedst their own inventions" on the rmjs website.

It is delight to rediscover a magnificent form of worship such as this.

These songs are inspirational and prayers that we can trusth Almight God. I am happy when I saw this upload. To God be the glory

Simply superb.

How beautiful!... All the Choirs in Heaven rejoice! Thank you so much for sharing this delight for the soul! Thank you for all the work that went into putting this together and giving it here to us... that is very much appreciated.

Even as an ‘heretic’ who doubts the ‘inerrancy of scripture’ (I spent 30 years poring over the oldest Greek & Hebrew MSS) I can appreciate the spiritual pow’r of an all-boys’ choir (from ages 7 to 17) singing in the Anglican church-stile - such ‘spiritually pure sounds’ absolutely transcend any gross-corruptions of hand copied sacred texts over time that lay persons cannot even read in the original … The peculiar English traditional ‘chant-style’ transcends the mundane ev’ryday & brings the soul into a kind of re-alignment with the cosmic energies of all the Multiverses in all the dimensions - maybe I’m being prejudice’d because I am of ‘English descent’ and was educated in the UK as a teenager & young-adult when I was expos’d to some of the best boys’ choirs in Britain

Thanks for chants full of harmony I them as well as Anglican hymns and church

Beautiful psalms, thanks !

1:06:00 "For his mercies endureth forever" brings peace to my soul🙏

It is such a Choral Treat to hear perfect Chanting, as I was trained many years ago. I started aged 6 at St Barnabas Church in Portishead In 1942. It is not surprising that my late Son Christopher who started playing the Organ in Beaulieu Abbey aged eight spent many of his teenage hours composing Chants and mush other Church Choral Music from age 12. Thank you.

Beautiful ❤️

This takes me back, 32 years, singing in our school Chapel choir.

This is awesome, thanks for the upload.

Wonderful. Thank you for putting this together. The Lord richly bless you all.

Fantastic choir ! The 1966 Christmas choir are very spiritual and they put their hearts soul into praising Jesus !

Thank you very much I LOVE IT

Gorgeous!! Loved this.

These boys are extremely lucky. I was a chorister for 5 years. It made my life. I will never forget that music.

Excellent and relaxing listening

This is soul lifting. Beautifully rendered

Thank you All and Merry Christmas All 2020!!!

Came upon this, while listening to Psalm Choir, wow this music is awesome, thank you for sharing.

Soy católico. La música preciosa. Muchas gracias y que Dios os bendiga

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, amen. Shalom

Listening to these chants has been very inspiring for me. I listen to them for hours and I felt so calm and relaxed after listening to them. Now I 'm hooked for life .

Oh God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come. Accept our praises in Jesus name Amen

Fantastic!

Lovely..I'm actually looking for Psalm 23.Thank you for posting.

Thanks be to God!

As a choir boy at the Methodist Church Chants and Canticles are truly spiritually inspired as well as the former Hymns unlike the new-age hymns probably inspired for commercial purposes

Great inspiring chant psalms. Indeed, I'm blessed and inspired as I listened to this chanting psalms.

Absolutely heavenly!

Psalm 93 ,I was able to trace the exact translation to Episcopal psalms . So glorious

Thank you for posting. Beautiful... ❤❤❤

How excellent, indeed!

Beautiful ♥️🙏

O Christ our God, You are worshiped at all times and in all places and are glorified both in heaven and on earth. You are patient, generous in mercy, rich in compassion, loving to the just and merciful to the sinner. You call all of us to repentance through the promise of blessings to come. O Lord, receive our supplications at this very hour. Direct our lives in the way of Your commandments. Sanctify our souls, purify our bodies, set our minds aright, cleanse our thoughts, deliver us from all affliction, wrath, danger and need. Surround us with Your holy angels, so that, guided and guarded by their ranks, we may reach unity of the faith and the knowledge of Your unutterable glory. You are blessed unto ages of ages. Amen

Heavenly.

Beautiful!
