4.0 out of 5 stars Same as 'Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800', February 20, 2004
By 
Timothy Dyck (Elkhart, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Early American Choral Music, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
Please note this CD is a duplicate of His Majestie's Clerkes's "Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800" -- identical contents but a different name and cover. I ordered both and was irritated to discover this. This CD is cheaper, so I recommend this one. It is a lovely choral work from a little-known period of sacred music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Better of the two, June 2, 2006
This review is from: Early American Choral Music, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
I have both disc in the series. I liked the music on this disc much more than the first. The selections seem more focused and the sounds are much clearer. Also, the particular pieces fit better together. I love the sound of this group and hope they make more in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really splendid recording, October 16, 2007
By 
T. Cleve Callison "callistc" (Wyoming (Cincinnati), OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Early American Choral Music Vol. 2: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800 (MP3 Download)
This has become a favorite album of mine. As a shape-note (Sacred Harp) singer myself, I was familiar with many of the American songs here. But the pairings with English 17th century psalmody opened up an entirely new connection for me and are quite convincing. The performances are first-rate. The singing is both powerful and nuanced -- rare with recordings of this music. The recent Anonymous 4 recordings from this tradition are also great, but with the possible exception of some Boston Camerata performances, no group I know of does a better job of getting the balance just right. They bridge the cultural divide between (on one side) "serious" choral musicians who can't quite get into shape-note music and (on the other) those of us for whom no other style has as much power and vigor. Alas, they don't "sing the notes" (fa-so-la syllables), but otherwise it's a gem.
