Layton brought out gentler rhythms, evoking the rocking of a cradle :gentle rapture. "Ach mein herzliebes Jesulein, Mach dir ein rein sanft Bettelein".The voices became hushed, soloists blended into the chorus.The Evangelist is a tenor (Gwilym Bowen), higher voices in the baroque era associated with heroes. The "English tenor" Fach has its roots in the ardent rapture of the sacred oratorio, where sincerity is of the essence, beauty lies in the ideas being expressed not independent thereof.
