This album celebrates the musical heritage of the Christian feast of the Epiphany, the revelation of the infant Christ to the world. Like the feast itself, the music is traditionally centred on the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem and the star that led them to the Holy Family.
This recording opens with the rousing hymn O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, by the prolific hymn-writer the Revd John Samuel Bewley Monsell (d.1875), taking inspiration from Psalm 96 and the gifts of the Magi. It was written in 1863, one year before the re-decoration of Worcester College Chapel. The tune comes from the Choralbuch von Johann Heinrich Reinhardt, an eighteenth century German manuscript, and was set to Monsell’s poem by the compilers of the English Hymnal.
Whilst O worship the Lord now seems very traditional, it is interesting to note how recently it has entered the choral repertoire.
