Various Artists - Alpha & O - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The two choirs of St Catharine's College, Cambridge return to Resonus Classics to collaborate once more on a new recording of contemporary works for Advent and Christmas. Featuring many world premiere recordings, the programme includes works written specially for the two college choirs including Diana Burrell's exuberant carol, Green groweth the holly; Christopher Fox's major new setting of the O Anitphons, interspersed with the original plainchant, and Jeremy Thurlow's Magnificat for upper voices, organ and tape, that blazes with the intensity of a new vision of the world.
