DDD Total Time = 73.48 - Recorded in: St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast, 12th-14th June 1995

A unique new recording from the Cathedral Choir at St. Anne’s in Belfast, performing a musical journey "From advent to Candlemas" surrounding the ultimate "time of peace" with the birth of the "prince of peace". The story unfolds through Plainsong (expressively sung by the lay clerks), through Hymns, Antiphons and Anthems and the spacious acoustics of the Cathedral are captured in a Digital recording of the highest quality. Also features two superb Organ pieces by Daquin and Karg-Elert performed on the Harrison & Harrison built organ.

Guild Music would hope, confidently and with a desire, that the Music on this recording can give faith to those in the now subsiding conflicts for a better future - to maybe achieving there own Time of Peace one day.
