Richard Connolly
Richard Connolly writes hymnody for the Australian Hymn Book repertoire. His 'Be Your Kingly Power' appears among familiar congregational tunes on these Cantus Choro recordings, set for choir and organ with clean, lively harmony that serves the words.
The piece sits in programmes of well-known hymns where organ accompaniment is kept imaginative and supportive, letting the choir breathe and the text carry.
