The Gentlemen and Boys of St. Matthew's Choir, 1966-1979

Brian Law, Organist and Choirmaster

This recording commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Men and Boy's Choir through a selection of music from the years 1966-1979. The music on the CD includes repertoire of the type you might hear us sing for the Eucharist Service on Sunday morning or at Evensong, as well as a series of Advent and Christmas carols.
