Great praise and worship.......2007-02-13
I've had this CD for quite some time. It hit the stores in 1995, but I may have been a year or two late. Actually I bought the tape before replacing it with the CD. Praise in the House was made at time when praise and worship was uncommon in the black church, at least in the South. By praise and worship, I mean real p&w; songs penned by Contemporary Christian artists, not devotional songs.
Praise in the House has songs that probably would be considered classic praise and worship, such as "There is None Like You" and "Joy of My Desire." "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord" is a nice choir/ group arrangement. Since Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ recorded the songs, it has `flavor' if you know what I mean. When I was younger, "We Lift Up Your Name" always came on the radio on Sunday mornings, and as I say, `that was my jam.' I had to find that song, which of course led me to the tape. I wasn't disappointed.
I grew up in a traditional church, so some of the songs and the atmosphere that p&w produced were new to me. The songs are still able to set the atmosphere, hence the CD is timeless. Although it is an older CD, Praise in the House relevant for today. With Fred Hammond as producer, you have nothing to lose.

Impeccably Performed, Stunning Sound.......1998-11-20
The beautifully captured reverberant sound of the acoustic space is matched by gorgeous choral balance, precise diction, and definitive interpretation. In spite of the contemporary style of the compositions - Rorem doesn't shy away from crunchy dissonances - this is a very enjoyable collection of Choral music with many beautfiul moments.

Favorite Praise CD EVER !!!.......2004-08-05
I absolutely love this cd. It is my all time favorite praise cd. It envokes the feeling of being in church. I'm actually very finicky about gospel music, but I love this one. If you see a copy, buy it as soon as you can. It's hard to find. I lost my copy on a plane trip a few months ago and I've missed it ever since.
My favorite gospel CD!!.......2003-12-08
I listen to a lot of gospel music but this CD has been my favorite for several years. It has a nice mix of praise songs and worship songs. My very favorite is "I Will Celebrate". It makes me want to get up and dance, and I always find myself singing along.
A CLASSIC!.......2000-05-17
This CD is one of the best if not the best praise and worship CD out there. It is a classic that will minister to you for years to come. It will usher you into the presence of the Lord. "He is worthy to be praised and adored"!
Glory, Glory, Glory!.......1999-10-20
Kudos to the Brainchild behind this series! This installment along with the others are absolutely fabulous and anoited to uplife the Lord's children.

it's a treat...very relaxing.......2003-10-18
I heard Vince Redhouse play at Borders last night (Oct. 17, 2003) in Tucson and was lucky enough to hear this classically-trained musician offer some of his reflections on his life and work. He is a spiritual, soulful individual, a skillful, long-time woodwinds player who played the saxophone as well as the native flute. The music is exceptionally relaxing. It is wonderful background music and very meditative if you want to focus your full attention on it. His CDs are my favorite among the two dozen or so native flute CDs I own. I can't wait for his new release to come out early next year (2004).
Bring Faith to your house!.......2003-01-20
This Cd is a must have! especially if you love native flute.
remember this Cd is nominated for a Grammy! and I think it deserves it! you also get to hear more than just flute on this cd.. sax and powwow drum to name a couple.
it makes great background music for your home or office or business.

Songs 4 Worship: Gospel - God in the House.......2003-04-01
This CD did not meet my expectations. It was a waste of money. I was looking for something to use with my choir. It sounded great on the website, the pieces that I heard. I think if they are going to put various artists on a CD, at least let the music be worth listening to.
For God Was Given The Glory.......2003-03-14
Excellent. The flow of lyrics and ryhthm was great. Very well coordinate and each and every song delived a message. A message that should lead lost souls to Christ and saved folks to repentance and deliverance. It is defiintely geared for the lest, the lost and the leftout.

This complete 12-disc survey of The Psalms of David from St. Paul's Cathedral is both a remarkable historical record of Anglican chant at its finest and an astonishing musical experience. Contained here are all 150 psalms in their traditional English garb from the 1549 Book of Common Prayer, with revised or entirely new musical settings as published in The New St. Paul's Cathedral Psalter, edited by the choir's musical director John Scott, itself a revision of the 1875 Cathedral Psalter. As such, these recordings represent the very backbone of the Anglican liturgy, but even a casual listener will be in no doubt that they also offer music that is both contemplative and richly varied when removed from its liturgical context.
The art of "pointing"--or setting--psalm texts has been essayed by many English composers, from William Croft through the Wesleys and William Boyce in earlier times to the great flowering in the late 19th century under Stainer and Barnby, with further contributions from Parry, Stanford, Elgar, Howells, and a host of choirmasters and organists, including Sir David Willcocks and John Scott himself. All are represented here. Recorded throughout in the vast acoustic of their cathedral, the St. Paul's choristers enunciate the words precisely, backed by inventive though unobtrusive organ accompaniment. Taken individually, it's possible to isolate moments when the choir seem to drag their feet or fail to give due weight to the words (Psalm 125, "They that put their trust in the Lord," seems far too subdued, for example), and the massive Psalm 119 is awkwardly split across discs 10 and 11, but overall this set is nothing less than a document of invaluable cultural and musical significance. --Mark Walker
Customer Reviews:
Brilliant Recordings.......2007-06-11
In our view the changes in pointing, and excellent selection of chants, give deeper meanings to the Psalms than those achieved in the "standard?" Parish Psalter.
We found great Spirituality and a wonderful sense of Worship whilst listening to this set. This is often sacrificed for brilliance of musical performance in other recordings.
Unfortunately the "St.Paul's Psalter" is not available (June 2007) but we are told that a new print run may happen within 12 months. This would be a most valuable companion to the recordings when and if it becomes available.
A- for effort.......2006-02-23
This grand undertaking deserves high praise, and I'm struck, listening to chant after chant, how much Anglican chant as it used to be until the changes of the 70s was one of the great Victorian contributions to English life and art. For anyone who wants to hear almost the entire repertoire of Anglican chant deployed in singing the whole book of Psalms, this is an unrivalled source. It is wonderful, too, to hear the Coverdale translation: you realize what the churches have lost by abandoning the proper & regular singing of the Psalms. So one is immensely grateful to Hyperion for putting out this recording. It's not perfect, though.
The rhythmic pacing, though a little slow for my taste, is steady and sensitive, the diction clear, and the organ accompaniment superb (Providing an expressive accompaniment to a choir singing in 4-part free rhythm, and improvising descants to the melody at the same time, isn't easy). And of course there's the cavernous acoustic of St. Paul's, very impressive in the more thunderous psalms. Unfortunately, though, the "forward" style favored for the St. Paul's boys produces a sound that's unpleasantly chesty in the lower registers and reedy in the higher ones. The poorly integrated choral sound caused by this kind of voice-production can be downright unpleasant for anyone used to, or trained in, the classic English choral style. In fact, one has to wonder why this choir was chosen for such a huge project: even allowing for the near-universal decline in standards of vocal training for boys in England, better sounds than this can still be heard.
What can you say?.......2003-01-03
I almost hate to criticize this terrific thing. After all, where else can you get all 150 Psalms in a single collection sung by one of the world's great choirs?
How much do I like it? I bought it *twice*. I originally bought all the CDs separately, before they came out with a single boxed set. They were stolen from my car (and, God willing, maybe they converted some poor thief to Anglican Cathedral Music and got him into church). After they were stolen, I immediately bought them again.
One of the great pleasures of life is listening to the Morning and Evening Psalms while driving to and from work, and making listening a regular feature of Morning and Evening Prayer.
So what's the criticism? The sound is a bit muddy, so the words can be rather difficult to understand without reading along (which is a real problem when driving), and personally, I prefer the Psalter from the 1979 BCP instead of the old one, from the Great Bible. But that's unreasonable. They ARE a British choir after all. Those are the only criticisms.
Anyhow, if you have a taste for choral cathedral music, this is genuinely indispensible. St. Paul's has given the world a great blessing.

More Britten Than We Know Well.......2006-03-09
This 2 CD set is a compilation of recordings made by Simon Rattle and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Chorus between 1982 and 1991 and a better selection of works by the brilliant composer Benjamin Britten would be difficult to match. Here Simon Rattle seems truly in his element, appearing to have a fine affinity for Britten's compositions. The works are indeed varied, yet for this listener the crowning work is Rattle's immensely powerful performance of the controversial 'Sinfonia da Requiem', a work with a charged history, having been originally commissioned by Japan in 1940 but later deemed unfit because of its 'Christian' identities. Would that the pacifist Britten had known what lay ahead with the world at war he probably would have not submitted this work. Yet as a pacifist the gorgeous orchestral requiem is a powerful and poignant anti-war vehicle. Rattle plays it with all of the quotes to future lines in 'Peter Grimes' and 'Death in Venice' subtly recognized.
But that is only one of the works in this well performed collection. Opening with the rarely heard 'American Overture' and early 'Ballad of Heroes' with Robert Tear as the fine soloist, the collection features the unusually lovely 'Diversions for piano left hand and orchestra' that Britten wrote for Paul Wittgenstein, here performed by Peter Donohoe (who also collaborates with Felix Kok, Jeremy Ballard, Peter Cole and Michal Kaznowski for the opus 16 'Young Apollo'.
Included are 'Quatre Chansons Françaises' with Jill Gomez as the exquisite soloist, several overtures, 'Praise We Great Men' in the 1976 orchestration by Colin Matthews, 'Suite on English Folk tunes' and 'Scottish Ballad'. The performances by the orchestra, chorus, and various soloists are on a consistently high level. This is one of the opportunities to really understand the works of Benjamin Britten outside of his famous operas and War Requiem. It is a joy. Highly Recommended. Grady Harp, March 06
Great Composer- Great Conductor.......2002-04-11
This album is a must for any classical music fan and for any Britten fan in particular. Rattle brings to these great pieces a vibrancy and energy that Britten would surely have enthusiastically approved . Aside from some of the more familiar works of Britten's such as the powerful and touching "Sinfonia da Requiem", we are treated to the less familiar "The Building of the House" written for the re-opening of the concert hall at Snape-Maltings which had previously burned down. This shows Britten at his inventive best in a rare orchestral work from his late period. Also included is "Suite on English Folk Songs" which was one of the last things he wrote before his premature death and shows that tragically, he was struck down at the height of his powers. Also we get to hear two recently unearthed pieces that had been apparently forgotten by Britten himself-"Occasional Overture" and one of my favorites from this collection, the wonderful "American Overture". All in all, a wonderful selection of Britten's work with performances worthy of the material. At the two-for-one price here, this is a collection you can't afford not to have.
Highly recommended!
