“A rich offering for Easter courtesy of Cambridge’s finest… a beautiful selection and impressive in its delivery” – ★★★★★ BBC Music Magazine
The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge Matthew Martin, Paul Greally organ Daniel Hyde Director of Music
A beautiful and varied selection of Easter choral music on its new album under the direction of Daniel Hyde.
Now the green blade risethis a procession through time and history, with music rooted in ancient Gregorian chant all the way through to contemporary works charting the course of Holy Week and Easter.
The album presents not only a rich variety of choral music but a demonstration of the flexibility and agility of the Choir of King’s College: Daniel Hyde conducts the Choir in music from the ‘Golden Age of English Polyphony’ (Byrd’sCivitas) and the era of Italian grand opera (Rossini’sO salutaris Hostia), as well Victorian, Edwardian and mid-twentieth century choral masterpieces.
A selection of popular Easter hymns structures the programme, which culminates in Duruflé’s stunning transcription of Tournemire’sChoral Improvisation sur le ‘Victimæ Paschali’, performed by Matthew Martin on the King’s College organ.
