Bairstow: If the Lord had not helped me, sung by St Peter's Singers of Leeds

The warmth of expression at the words 'Thy mercy, O Lord, held me up' achieves a consummate beauty so characteristic of Bairstow at his most deeply felt. A richly-scored bass solo is a notable characteristic of the work, and the grandeur of the choral writing gives more than a hint of the terrific Easter-tide Anthem 'Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously' that was the next year to follow from the composer's pen.
This performance was recorded in Leeds Minster on Sunday 28th April 2013 during the recital of 'Music with Minster connections' sung by St Peter's Singers of Leeds, directed by Dr Simon Lindley. The organist is David Houlder and the bass soloist is Quentin Brown.

There has been a long tradition of musical excellence at St Laurence’s. The original Church, built in the 1880s, had a strong choir of men and boys who took part in the Festival of Britain services in 1951.
When the new Church was opened in 1968, the musical tradition continued. A new Walker organ was installed in the Church, using some pipework from the old organ and Directors of Music have included David Sanger, Professor Roger Wibberley, Paul Dewhurst, Tom Fowkes, Marcus Wibberley, Iain Simcock and Andrew Ibbotson. The current Director of Music is Huw Morgan.
Girls were first admitted to the choir some ten years ago, but the choir remains unique in this part of south-east London in that it continues to use only trebles (girls and boys) on the top line. The lower parts are provided by volunteer adults from the local community. Young people receive an excellent musical education, and ... less

Based on “Holy Innocents” by Christina Rossetti
Sleep, little baby, sleep;
The holy Angels love thee,
And guard Thy bed, and keep
A blessed watch above thee.
No spirit can come near?
Nor evil beast to harm thee:
Sleep, Sweet, devoid of fear
Where nothing need alarm thee.
The Love which doth not sleep,
The eternal Arms surround thee:
The Shepherd of the sheep
In perfect love hath found thee.
Sleep through the holy night,
Kept from snare and sorrow,
Until thou wake to light
And love and warmth to-morrow. less
