The Dedication of the Temple: Music from the Templars’ Jerusalem Breviary

 Recorded in The Temple Church, London 2009. This recording represents the culmination of a project that our founder, Dr Mary Berry, had in mind during her last year, and as such is naturally dedicated to her memory.

The CD was launched on May 29th after Vespers at the Inner Temple Workshop (further details of this event are to be found on the Events page of the website).  We have high hopes for the disc, which contains excellent performances as well as enjoying the prestige of content devised and edited by Dr David Hiley. Copies of the CD are now available from the Schola.
