Description: | Composer: Gary Davidson
Orchestra: Wells Cathedral Choir
Genre: Choral Music
Wells Cathedral Choir and director Matthew Owens are joined by violist Philip Dukes and mezzo-soprano Rachael Lloyd for this exploration of choral works by the American composer Gary Davison. Part of a continuing and fruitful relationship, all of the works on this recording were written for, and premiered by, the Wells choir. Consisting entirely of first recordings, this new album contains Davisonâ??s largest work to date â?? the Missa pro defunctis, a powerful and moving setting of the Requiem (Missa pro defunctis) â?? alongside Most High, Glorious God, the beautifully simple Wessex Service, and the uplifting Awake, My Soul.

Part of a continuing and fruitful relationship, all of the works on this recording were written for, and premiered by, the Wells choir.

The Wells Cathedral Choir was hailed in 2011 by an international jury from Gramophone as the greatest choir with children in the world, and the sixth greatest overall. The choir celebrated it's 1100th birthday in 2009: boys first sang at Wells Cathedral in 909 and the full choral tradition dates back over 800 years. In 1994 the choral foundation at Wells was enriched by the addition of girl choristers. Today the choir consists of eighteen boy and eighteen girl choristers. And twelve Vicars Choral. |
