Choir & Organ
Not every young composer has the opportunity to have their music performed alongside an established older generation and survive the experience. Kerry Andrew emerges unscathed. Dusk Songs is a setting of 12 liturgical texts for Compline. Influenced by world music and non-Western vocal techniques, she is able to create a meditative mood for the ending of the day. Andrew's flowing vocal lines and her deep feeling for text presage the emergence of a considerable talent.
Moody's Canticum canticorum are three atmospheric settings influenced by Eastern Orthodox liturgical chant that maintains the reflective spirit of the CD. MacMillan's evocative A Child's Prayer and Christus Vincit touch the senses to bring a radiant ending to this inspirational programme. The Ebor Singers are magnificent throughout. I cant wait to hear more from this young group.

The purity and youthful freshness of The Ebor Singers suits these fantastic choral works very well indeed. Please record more.
