The voice was at the centre of Elgar\\x92s musical life as a child \\x96 his sister recalled family evenings when \\x91[we] sang and sang for the very joy of singing\\x92 \\x96 and it was to play a defining role in his own compositions. Spanning 26 years \\x96 from the imposing setting of Ecce sacerdos magnus (\\x91Behold the great priest\\x92)* in 1888 to the richly realised psalm settings of the 1910s, it is possible to chart in these often moving, occasionally monumental works the development of Elgar\\x92s prowess in setting the voice. Behold the Great Priest presents a treasure-trove of Elgar\\x92s choral compositions intriguingly mapping out his development towards the full-scale masterpieces of Sea Pictures, The Apostles and The Dream of Gerontius. Illuminating, newly commissioned notes are provided by Andrew Neill, chairman of the Elgar Society from 1992-2008. *A rarity on disc, Ecce sacerdos magnus shares its opening notes with the Benedictus from Joseph Haydn\\x92s Harmoniemesse, a 1949 recording an excerpt of which \\x96 featuring the Munich Cathedral Choir and Orchestra conducted by Ludwig Berberich \\x96 is included demonstrating striking similarities between the two.\u003cp\u003e1.
