DDD Total time = 68.30 - The Cathedral Choir appears by kind permission of the Dean and
Chapter of Salisbury Cathedral
On two evenings in September 1995 a total of around one thousand
singers, mostly from the Diocese of Salisbury, gathered in Salisbury Cathedral to make a
recording of traditional carols, accompanied by Matthew Halls on the Willis
organ with the Cathedral Choir and The Salisbury Brass Ensemble- The sessions were
conducted by the cathedral's Assistant Organist David Halls, who also directed the
cathedral choir's separate contribution of four unaccompanied tracks. The venture could
not have taken place but for the great goodwill of those who took part, and 1 thank you
all for your time and enthusiasm. The project was conceived to raise funds for the Choral
Foundation of Salisbury Cathedral which is being set up to ensure that the rich musical
tradition, of which we in Salisbury are immensely proud. can continue into the next
century and beyond.
