The Choir of the Church of Saint Luke in the Fields is a professional ensemble made up of some of New York City's finest singers. As part of the liturgy at St. Luke's Church, the Choir regularly performs masses and motets that date from the fifteenth century to the present. The Choir has presented a number of premieres, including the New York premiere of Arvo Pärt's Berliner Messe and Missa Sillabica as well as Dan Locklair's Brief Mass.

The 1979 Prayer Book Psalter is a translation of great beauty in the tradition of its English and American predecessors. The selections chosen here, beautifully sung by this renowned choir, represent a variety of styles, including Anglican and Russian chant, plainsong, and metrical settings. This unique recording showcases the best of traditional and contemporary composers.
