Recenzii

Alan Bullard has a great gift for writing accessible, effective and melodious music for choirs; if you are not aware of his compositions, these three would be a good place to start . . . Using the well-known hymn text, based on Psalm 148, the anthem Praise the Lord, ye heavens adore him is marked with the musical directive 'with life and spirit'. It is a happy and up-beat arrangement that will be enjoyed by organists and choirs - and perhaps particularly, SATB secondary-school choirs.
