Expectans Expectavi

When I was a chorister I loved Wood's "Expectans Expectavi". When I became senior organ scholar at university in 1979 I included it as an anthem on the music list. I was laughed at as were the music and the lyrics. Odd, then, that it is still a staple of cathedral music.

People have their own (musical) tastes but it does not mean that mine are wrong. I think this was a case of 'Christian' one-upmanship and I hope those responsible have grown up after 45 years.

Here it is - slightly slower than I like it but not the slowest I found!
