In the Bible, so we're told, Prayin' helped the men of old. Daniel in the Lion's den, Threatened by some evil men, Turned to God to set them free, Gave Them life and liberty, None attacked, they didn't dare, Silenced by the pow'r of prayer. You gotta testify, pray, Read the word of the Lord, You gotta testify, pray, Lean on the word of the Lord! Gotta keep the faith, be strong. Gotta keep the faith! Moses was another one, He had Pharaoh on the run, David, Jacob, Joshua too, Prayer and praising got them through. Even when they seemed undone, And their enemies had won, They knew they could stand their ground, God would never let them down. Keep on fightin' to the end, Whatever the devil sends, You know you are not alone, God won't leave you on your own. Arm yourself with Heaven's pow'r, Fight more fiercely by the hour, Battle evil ev'rywhere, Strengthened by the power...    less

Since then the choir has performed and recorded regularly to great critical acclaim throughout the world. Recent reviews declare Polyphony ‘one of the best small choirs now before the public’ (Telegraph) and ‘possibly the best small professional chorus in the world’ (Encore Magazine, USA). In a new poll by Gramophone Magazine they were named as one of the world’s leading choirs ‘Stephen Layton's choir have become renowned for both their sound and versatility – whether in early music, or contemporary works such as those of Eric Whitacre, they embody the remarkable tradition of British choral excellence at its finest.’ For more than a decade Polyphony has given annual sell-out performances of Bach’s St John Passion and Handel’s Messiah at St John’s Smith Square. These have become notable events in London’s music calendar and have been broadcast by BBC Radio 3 and the EBU. According to the Evening Standard ‘no one ...    less
