I rather liked the contrast between the two. Also, Armed Man was far kinder to altos, which I appreciated!
The next concert, on Good Friday with another choir, will be Stainer again (did him last year with a different choir) and a third with yet another choir will be Mendelssohn's Hymn of praise. I don't like the Stainer at all (apart from flinging wide the gates) and vowed to never do it again, but a friend is short of altos for her choir.
