The Palestrina Choir – The Bells of the Angelus

“It’s the ultimate in polyphony. Six voices move in perfect balance, the lines simple, distinct, and rhythmically supple, yet unfolding in crystal-line stream of sound, exquisite in its unity” Irish Times, June 2003.

This recording of the Palestrina Choir, includes specially written choral arrangements by David Mooney of much-loved Irish hymn melodies.

Ranging from The Bells of the Angelus, Lord of All Hopefulness and Hail, Queen of Heaven to the Queen of the May and the most poignant of Irish hymns such as Ag Críost an Síol and Dóchas Linn Naomh Pádraig, and including the complete work of Haydn’s Missa Brevis in F, this is a very special collection of liturgical favourites.

One of our producer's best selling albums, which to date has sold over 11,000 copies
