Hear my words ye people by Hubert Parry, a former chorister at Eton College is the first track on the album featuring some of the best-loved anthems in the church repertoire, beautifully performed by the Eton College Chapel Choir.
The choir, formed in the 14th century, has changed a great deal since the choir school was succeeded by a music scholarship system, designed to facilitate talented choristers with their education. Although life has changed at Eton, the music passed down over five hundred years still possesses a power to stir.
