We are extremely grateful to David Drury, (conductor and oragnist), Brooke Shelley (soprano), Anna Sandström (soprano), Josie Ryan (soprano), Janine Harris (mezzo soprano) and Sam Allchurch (conductor and Director of Music at Christ Church St Laurence, Sydney, Australia) for meeting in the extreme heat of an Australian summer, to record some of the works from this volume.
