The voice was at the center of Elgar's musical life as a child, and it was to play a defining role in his own compositions. Spanning 26 years - from the imposing setting of Ecce sacerdos magnus ('Behold the great priest')* in 1888 to the richly realized psalm settings of the 1910s, it is possible to chart in these often moving, occasionally monumental works the development of Elgar's prowess in setting the voice. The muscular and poetic Op.34 Te Deum and Benedictus and consoling Offertory Anthem, O Hearken Thou are heard alongside two contrasted psalms - the mighty Great is the Lord and bold and vigorous Give unto the Lord - that have become cornerstones of the English choral tradition. Two sunny, secular works show Elgar balancing delicacy and deliberateness with consummate skill. Based on a play by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the Iberian-accented Spanish Serenade is courtship of exquisite beauty and warmth. Scenes from the Bavarian Alps sets words by the composer's wife, Alice, to produce six animated and colorful songs that conjure the sights and sounds of happy holiday visits by the recent newlyweds. Behold the Great Priest presents a treasure-trove of Elgar's choral compositions intriguingly mapping out his development towards the full-scale masterpieces of Sea Pictures, The Apostles and The Dream of Gerontius.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcce Sacerdos Magnus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTe Deum Laudamus, Op. 34 No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenedictus, Op. 34 No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO Hearken Thou, Op. 64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsalm 48, Op. 67 \u0026amp;quot;Great Is The Lord\u0026amp;quot;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsalm 29, Op. 74 \u0026amp;quot;Give Unto The Lord\u0026amp;quot;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanish Serenade, Op. 23 (Stars Of The Summer Night)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenes From The Bavarian Highlands, Op. 27: No. 1, The Dance (Sonnenbichl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenes From The Bavarian Highlands, Op. 27: No. 2, False Love (Wamberg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenes From The Bavarian Highlands, Op. 27: No. 3, Lullaby (In Hammersbach)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenes From The Bavarian Highlands, Op. 27: No. 4, Aspiration (Bei Sankt Anton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenes From The Bavarian Highlands, Op. 27: No. 5, On The Alm (Hoch Alp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenes From The Bavarian Highlands, Op. 27: No. 6, The Marksmen (Bei Murnau)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass No. 14 In B-Flat Major, Hob.
