Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ. Sing joyfully to God our strength; sing loud unto the God of Jacob! Take the song, bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp, and the viol. Blow the trumpet in the new moon, at the time appointed for your feast day. Sung at Canterbury Cathedral during our Royal School of Church music Summer Course in 1986, under Martin How. I (David W Solomons) was one of the altos. John Huntley - a fellow alto - recorded this performance.  less
