My wife teaches coral singing at the Royal Military Band school and we were looking for gopel choir music when we stumbled on your recording from 2007. It was magical and now we are wondering where we can obtain the recordings and the music score for several of the tracks to perform at Christmas with the soldiers.
Hope you are able to assist. Steph Neale (Mr) Husband
