what fruite of immortality review!
24th Jun 2012
"What fruite of immortality captures the essence of English Church music where Edd picks up on those wonderful harmonic suspensions using the choir to evoke the atmosphere of a large resonant space."

"When we got to Psalm 23, Edd gave us a truly new take on this poetry. "

"Even Archbishop Parker struggled with the rhymes for this psalm erring on the side of sentimentally. Edd’s setting cut right through this placing the psalm as a beautiful piece of poetry."

"Most will be familiar with the Geographical Fuge which only gives a hint of the range and breadth of this section. It picks up on breathing and sibilants as well as presenting a rich fugal texture involving pitch and tone"

"This is a remarkable piece by Edward Caine and his collaborator Graham Bier."

"what fruite of immortality captured not only the immortality of the psalms but of English church music: a sonority that is truly English."
