Howells: Requiem & Other Choral Works

My Best Choral CD is from Hyperion and showcases music by the still underrated Herbert howells. Stephen Layton and his Trinity College Choir, Cambridge do wonders with Howells brief but eloquent Requiem, the Hymn to St Cecilia and one of our finest hymn tunes composed for All My Hope on God is Founded and dedicated to his son who died very young.
