About this title

About the Author:

Michael Wise sang as a child in the choir of the Chapel Royal and served as a countertenor in St George's Chapel, Windsor. He was appointed Organist and Choirmaster at Salisbury Cathedral, then, in 1676, became a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal and, in the last year of his life, held the post of Master of the Children at St Paul's Cathedral. He is best known for his anthems and service settings but also wrote some catches and other secular songs.

Review:

This is a four-part setting for SATB and organ with verse sections that are as simple as the full ones, and I imagine very pleasing to sing and hear. * Clifford Bartlett, Early Music Review April 2010 *
