Woods compositions play a central role in the CD, along with Charles Villiers Stanford who preceded Wood as Professor of Music at Cambridge University. We are excited to include the first-time recording of The Canticle of the Sun by the American visionary, Amy Beach; and Woods neglected African-Caribbean contemporary, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, will also be given a voice on the CD. The full track list for the recording is as follows:
Stanford: Magnificat a 8
Stanford: Eternal Father
Wood: Expectans expectavi
Wood: It were my soul's desire
Wood: O thou the central orb reconstructed by Philip Moore (Premiere Recording)
Wood: Nunc Dimittis
Beach: Canticle of the Sun (Premiere Recording)
Bonum est confiteri (Psalm 92)
Deus misereatur (Psalm 67)
