As Sunlight Fills the Waking Day
The College choir's new CD, As Sunlight Fills the Waking Day, captures the Choir in thrilling form, singing music from right round the year under the direction of the new Visiting Choral Director, Timothy Brown, and the Organ Scholars. From rousing anthems such 'O thou the central orb', through Christmas carols such as 'There is no rose', Schubert's Mass in G, recorded in the composer's original scoring with strings and organ, May morning Madrigals, new pieces written for the choir by Giles Swayne and Jeremy Thurlow, to jazzy harmonies from the May Balls, this CD will make an ideal gift for Christmas, or for any time of year!
Deo Gracias
The 2007-08 choir, under the direction of Dominic O'Connor-Robinson and Julian Revie, recorded Deo Gracias in June 2008, and it was released later that year. It includes Haydn's 'Little Organ Mass' and Britten's haunting 'Ceremony of Carols', along with choir favourites such as Rachmaninov's 'Bogoroditsye Dyevo' from the Russian composer's Vespers.
Sing For The Morning's Joy!
In contrast to the choir's Christmas CD, this one is packed with English choral music: Summer hits and some great romping classics such as Balfour Gardiner's Evening Hymn and Parry's Epic I Was Glad. This CD was recorded by the 02/03 choir and has something for everyone! With nearly 80 minutes of music, you'll want to listen to this again and again, enjoying the journey from the powerful melody's of Like As The Hart to the subtle complexities of Beati Quorum Via. All together this is the perfect CD for anyone wishing to celebrate singing, and all those who wish to Sing for the Morning's Joy!
