I have to admit I'd never heard of Howard Goodall before searching on Amazon. I'm a fan of choral music, and for a long time I've had "find Mr. Bean music" on my to-do list. I was surprised to learn it was by a contemporary composer, and ordered the CD.
It's quite a revelation; each piece is thoughtful, deep, and quietly masterful. I love choral, but I prefer Renaissance to contemporary. In just 24 hours, however, this recording has changed all that; a beautiful collection of pieces - I'd put this album right at the top of my favourites list.
So far my favourite is 'Palm 23' - I've never actually watched 'The Vicar of Dibley', so I don't to have to disassociate the music from a TV show. It's sublime, sheer comfort; ... Read More:

Howard Goodall might very well enter the psyche of anyone with an ear for extremely subtle harmonies. English church choirs are to me (a German listener) the most wonderful and expressive in the world. Howard Goodall makes perfectuse of them.

This CD will become more and more enjoyable on each listening. At first you may be hanging out for his themes for The Vicar of Dibley and Mr Bean, but eventually you will come to love the Magnificat and other works included here.
Highly recommended.

This CD features a range of choral music written by renowned TV composer Howard Goodall. Some of the tracks will be familar to TV viewers as the themes of comedy programmes (Mr Bean & the Vicar of Dibley), but the music is well worth taking seriously.
Goodalls Requiem mass is also featured.
The average Brit would probably be surprised at how many Goodall tunes he or she knows: these excellent recordings from the much under-rated ASV label demonstrate why his music is so widely used.
