Beautiful...nice harmonies and voice leading, and a wonderful performance !

A work written by Ethan McGrath in 2009 for The Kinge's Quire.  Based on a Medieval text painting a vivid picture of the emotions surrounding the crucifixion.

At The Cry Of The First Bird - Ethan McGrath

This is a little rendition I did for my new album, The Simple Gospel. I feel like sometimes songs like this are perceived as cliché, or worn out. I really like the simple, child-like message of this song, so I tried to make it new. I also managed to squeeze in a little tin whistle solo on this one.

Jesus Loves Me

From the live concert featuring Roland Carter, and Robert Sims with inSpirit Men's Chorus.

Dry Bones

A lovely performance of my Nunc Dimittis by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, conducted by Stephen Layton, recorded live at Brauweiler Abbey on 14 July 2018.

The text is the Latin version of the Song of Simeon from Luke chapter 2. This is the most common English translation:

"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel."
(Book of Common Prayer, 1662)
