| Hymns of Vaughn Williams Choir of First Congregational Church of Los Angeles Frederick Swann, organist Thomas Somerville, director
British composer Ralph Vaughn Williams is known for his choral anthems and large-scale works, but he was also ressponsible for selecting the tunes fo the 1906 version of The English Hymnal. He wrote some tunes himself, such as Down Ampney (Come done, O love Divine) and Sine Nomine (For All the Saints), and arranged some 40 English folksongs. The result was a substantial and lasting contribution to 20-century hymnody, which is celebrated in this recording.
