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.
