This CD was recorded
and released in 1994 and was the first collaboration between choirs in the Benelux region
to record a CD together. A 'Hymnathon' had been held at Holy Trinity Utrecht to
raise money for the restoration of their organ and the entire 'Hymns Ancient & Modern
Revised' was sung through in one weekend. This generated great interest, and the
church was invited to make a recording to commemorate the event. The idea was to
record lesser-known hymns which would be interesting for the public to hear.
The recording was done in a church in Tilburg and the choir is conducted by Chris Farr.
The CD was released on the "Jubal" label but is unfortunately no longer
available. |

Following the success
of the 'Hymnathon' CD it was decided to record a CD of Christmas music. This time
the Choir was conducted by Martin van Bleek.
The recording encompassed well known and less well known carols, including a number of
congregational carols. Recording took place at the end of April at a church in
Driehuis (which has a Walker organ from 1865) and it seemed strange to be singing this
music at that time of year!
This CD was released in 1997 again on the "Jubal" label but is also no
longer available. |

This is the latest CD
to be released by the combined choirs. In contrast to the previous recording, this
has more unusual carols and includes an organ solo piece specially written for the CD.

This recording was made
by the choir of St. John & St. Philip, The Hague, conducted by Chris Farr. The
CD aims to give as full a picture as possible of the range of music used in worship in the
Anglican church at The Hague. This includes modern worship songs, organ music on the
fine Goetze & Gwynn organ.
