Heaven on Earth

William Billings is my favorite choral composer of all time. Considering my bias toward acappella hymn-like music, this may not be suprising. Billings was an early American composer from the American revolution era. Among hymnsingers he is probably best known for his compositions David's Lamentation and Africa.

Below I have several of his compositions performed by Paul Hillier's "His Majesties Clerkes." I hope you enjoy them, it is truly amazing stuff...
