“Come, Come, My Voice” is one of three pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach in this collection, recorded at Southwell Minster in April 2002. As well as Bach there are songs by the usual suspects: Stanford, Handel, Vaughan Williams, Rutter and Mendelssohn (including “Hear My Prayer” with the ever popular “O For The Wings Of A Dove” sung very well) plus some surprises, most notably John Dankworth’s “Light Of The World”. Nicholas Fletcher was Head Chorister at the time of this recording although I suspect this was very close to being his final performance as a treble. If so, he can take pride in a job well done. The Director was Paul Hale, Philip Rushforth was the organist and the rest of the Minster Choir should also take a bow.
