O taste and see
O taste and see, one of the last of Vaughan Williams' sacred pieces, was written for the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The music is of distilled simplicity, with a pentatonic flavour that reminds us of the composer’s lifelong interest in folk-song.

LYRICS:
O taste and see how gracious the Lord is: blest is the man that trusteth in him.
(Psalm 34, v. 8)

Treasures of English Church Music
46 tracks of English a cappella church music, featuring John Rutter conducting the Cambridge Singers, and recorded in the inspiring setting of the Lady Chapel of Ely Cathedral.

"A marvellous collection taken from all ages of Church Music – a mix of the popular and the slightly rarer. This is recorded in Ely Cathedral and it seems to have projected itself into some wonderfully lyric pieces – the opening track of Parsons Ave Maria sets the scene for the rest of the music. This is the Cambridge Singers at their best…” Cathedral Music

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
