Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody From 1550 to 1800 2 reviews
Anonymous, William Billings, ...
Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1996
Duplicate of 'Early American Choral Music, Vol. 2'
+ Great recording reissued
Please note this CD is identical to another His Majestie's Clerkes CD, "Early American Choral Music, Vol. 2 (Anglo-American Psalmody: 1550-1800)" but with a different cover and name! I bought both and was irritated to discover this. The other version is cheaper, so I would suggest getting that one.
