About

This anthology mingles well-loved favourites with perhaps less familiar hymns. The programme follows 'the Church year' from Advent ('Hills of the north, rejoice', which gives the disc its title), though Christmas ('O little town of Bethlehem' set by Walford Davies), Easter ('When I survey the wondrous Cross') to Harvest ('We plough the fields and scatter') and All Saints ('For all the saints').
