Reviews for
GMCD 7147 - How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings
From Gramophone - Awards issue 1998
The dignified and beautiful church evidently has a choir worthy of it. Their excellence
is not merely technical: they really do sound as though they're singing for love.
The programme is a delight, every item a winner, and something that must be heard is
the organ solo, War March of the Ancient Martians attributed to Caractacus Ginger
McIvor: possible only once, but it must be heard.

Benjamin Britten was hardly out of his teens when he composed his Te Deum in C, of of
13 tracks recorded by the Choir of the Collegiate Church of St. Mary, Warwick
This fine church which I visited last year, has an excellent choir conducted by Mark
Shepherd, with Kevin Bowyer supporting as organist. The Guild recording features
music from Brahms and Faure to Grayston Ives and John Rutter.
