5 out of 5 stars Hymns in the Anglican Tradition Beautifully Performed.......2007-01-24

This is one more example of hymns in the Anglican Tradition, sung by the always excellent choir of King's College, Cambridge. It is a splendid example of the sonorous sound of men and boys, accompanied by a classic English organ and, for the quieter hymns, the gentle sound of harp. All the familiar hymns and hymn tunes are here. You will not regret adding this CD to your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Very inspiring music.......2005-07-06

I always enjoy listening to this Cd and particularly because of the orchestra and mellifluous choir. I especially enjoy: A Mighty Fortress, Come Down, O Love Divine, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, and Thine Be The Glory. Some of the selections are soft such as "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears." Still, it is a fabulous selection and one of my favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Great English Hymns.......2005-02-10

This was one of my Christmas gifts and I really looked forward to listening to it. I had just visited King's College, Cambridge back in August and really liked it--you should try to make it out there if possible.

Anyway, this CD was great to listen to. Some hymns are scored for orchestral accompaniment, choir and organ, while the majority of tracks are just for choir and organ.

Recorded in the King's College Chapel (the front cover has a great shot of the ceiling's trademark "fan" stone carving), the hymns are pure English sound--boys' treble voices along with men's changed voices singing with a pure, clean, straight tone. It's very sweet-sounding.

The hymns chosen are also great; "Be Thou My Vision," an Irish classic, appears along with "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," and "Morning Has Broken" (later recorded by Cat Stevens).

The singing isn't especially elaborate--they're just simple hymns. They're orchestrated very well, however, and they sound great.

Religious people may prefer these recordings more in general--these are Christian hymns after all--but I think it's a great recording and is worth listening too, especially if you enjoy that English sound!

5 out of 5 stars Buy this CD!.......2004-09-20

Having heard Kings College Choir twice, in the flesh, at Kings, this CD is a wonderful example of what you might hear. If you can't make it to Cambridge, buy this CD. It contains many of the old favorites and also some hymns that are not found on other English hymn CD's.

3 out of 5 stars English Choirs.......2002-12-18

Having visited many Cathedrals throughout the UK and listened to the enchanting voices of the boys choirs, I was disappointed with this particular rendering from Kings. Perhaps I am biased in that I enjoy the organ background or no background but the use of a full blown orchestra, in my opinion, tended to overwhelm and was totally unnecessary and somewhat grandoise choice on the part of Stephen Cleobury. Apart from that, much of the music was excellent. In comparison with other CD's from Kings, this was disappointing.

3 out of 5 stars Older songs........2006-12-23

The songs on this cd are very old and have that old hollywood sweet type of feel to them. Good for an older couple or a very old fashioned couple.

1 out of 5 stars Not what I wanted-Not even close........2005-07-08

If there is such a thing as Irish country music, then this is the worst form of it. I was expecting instrumentals or something appropriate to play at a wedding. There is not one good song on this CD and there is definitely nothing here that can be played at a wedding. The title is definitely misleading.

1 out of 5 stars The Vow by Druidstone is a much better choice.......2002-01-02

While I was doing research for my book - The Traditional Irish Wedding - I wanted to be able to recommend as much authentic Irish music as possible for both the ceremony and the reception.

The book came about because our daughter wanted a celebration reflective of her roots; we ended up with all Irish music for the ceremony, including a Celtic Mass. The same was true of the reception. There is so much great Irish music available that the problem for most couples will be deciding what to include and what to leave out. Except for The Irish Wedding Song and My Wild Irish Rose, it's my opinion that this particular CD is misleading as to its name and content.

1 out of 5 stars Irish Wedding Songs.......2001-06-23

Yuck! My fiance is from Ireland and this is exactly the type of "Irish" music we want to avoid at our wedding. We don't want the family on this side of the Atlantic to get the wrong impression. Look elsewhere, this is no bargin.

2 out of 5 stars The Title is Misleading.......2000-11-15

I purchased the CD for 1 song, The Irish Wedding Song. It is beautiful. Outside of this track, there are maybe 2 other songs worth listening to, When You Were Sweet Sixteen and I Love You Because. This should not be billed as an Irish CD. Very little Irish about it. It is more country than Irish and has very little to do with a wedding.

      5 out of 5 stars Great Romantic Music for Any Occasion.......2007-05-23

      The Wedding Song Collection is a set of songs perfect for any wedding - Irish or otherwise - since the music is gently lilting and perfectly on topic. There are a number of different singers represented with this set.

      The title song is undoubtedly the most popular - "The Irish Wedding Song" by Andy Gooney. It mentions all of the ups and downs of weddings, and provides a great background song for the couple's first dance together. Again, it's not specifically Irish in nature, so it would be perfect no matter what type of wedding it was.

      The Voyage by Tony Kenny is a song about the work and care that goes into the voyage of life, and how creating a "ship" that is sturdy and of high quality helps to ensure that the couple stays together for a lifetime. Two more romantic, soothing songs follow - "Forever and More" and "I'll Never Find Another You". These are great for slow dancing or for background music during a reception.

      The three songs "Daddy's little Girl", "My Son" and "Mother" are all specifically targetted towards those parent-child dances that are traditional at weddings. The words may be a little hokey at times, but really, that's the beauty of a wedding. It *is* about sentimental, hokey feelings, about a giant, celebrated change between being alone and being with a new person. I do have to comment that it was a bit odd to have "Mother" sung by a male singer, when the sentiments are all from the Mother's point of view. I'd like to see that one redone with a woman singing.

      The remaining songs - "Siege of Ennis", "The Only One", "It's Our Anniversary", "You Touched Upon My Life", "Gown of White", "The Vows Go Unbroken" and "Old Time Waltz Medley" are all far less specific, meaning you can mix and match them as you wish. The Anniversary song of course you can save and play on each Anniversary, or perhaps honor a couple at the event who has been together for a long time.

      Would you play this CD at a time NOT involving a wedding? I could see playing the second half of the songs - which are gently romantic - pretty much any time. Many of the songs could prove inspirational to you if you're about to get married or are in a marriage and want to remember what your vows meant. Marriage isn't something that just happens. It's something that takes daily work, to care and nurture. These songs might help provide the inspiration to feel grateful for what you have and to put in the tender appreciation that helps a marriage last a lifetime.

      Well recommended.

      4 out of 5 stars You don't have to be Irish to like this CD.......2005-05-23

      While this CD is a must-have for anyone of Irish ancestry, the universal appeal and sentiment expressed in "The Irish Wedding Song" transcend any ethnicity.

      While there may be other versions of the song available, Andy Cooney's version, found here, remains the gold standard by which all other versions are measured.

          5 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of artists for a CD.......2006-03-15

          Picked up this CD in Chicago (just came out this year) and has a great collection of known as well as upcoming artists from the midwest. On top of that, I understand that the money goes right a charity called Brendan Heart Fund in Milwaukee at some Children's Hospital. Highly recommend for others.
