Robert Lucas Pearsall birth

English composer Robert Lucas Pearsall was born on this day in 1795. Included on this album – A Double Celebration – is his beautiful setting of the English poem, Lay a Garland, composed for eight-part choir.

“His choral music has that indefinable ‘ring’, instantly recognizable in the work of an authentic choral composer.” JR
