Hail, bright Cecilia!
Soul of the world
Thou tun'st this world below, the spheres above
Simon Woolf · English Chamber Orchestra · The Ambrosian Singers · Sir Charles Mackerras · Tiffin Boys' Choir
With that sublime celestial lay
Michael Rippon · Paul Esswood · English Chamber Orchestra · Roland Tatnell · Sir Charles Mackerras
in vain the am'rous flute and soft guitar
The fife, and all the harmony of war
Let these amongst themselves contest
Hail, bright Cecilia!
With rapture of delight
English Chamber Orchestra · Paul Esswood · Alexander Young · Sir Charles Mackerras · Roland Tatnell · Michael Rippon
Hail, bright Cecilia!
