Herbert Howells: Like as the hart

Herbert Howell’s setting of ‘Like as the hart’ (the first few verses of Psalm 42) is one of the best-loved works in all of English church music. We will sing it as the anthem at our next evensong (Saturday 4 March at 5pm). This clip is from the last time that we sang it, at an evensong mid-2022. Sign of the times: alto Vicki McGregor is conducting because Director Peter Kelsall was in COVID isolation!
