Description: | â??In the 1970s the Bevan Family Choir, consisting of 10 siblings under the direction of their father Roger Bevan, released an album of choral music and toured the country, even making a documentary for ITV. Now, some of the children of those singers â?? 15 of the 53 first cousinsâ?¦are set to release their debut album with conductor Graham Ross. The album is a celebration of their musical heritage and contains works by Stanford, Victoria, Palestrina, Tallis, David Bevan, Lobo and more.â?? - .. CHORAL MUSICSoprano Mary Bevan writes: In 1975, the original Bevan Family Choir released their debut album on vinyl, featuring an eclectic programme of sacred choral works, Welsh folk songs, and piano music. The Choir consisted of 11 of the 14 Bevan siblings and was conducted by their father, Roger. Later on the Choir was taken over by the second eldest son, David, who was to go on to become Assistant Director of Music at Westminster Cathedral. The musical tradition continued to flourish within the family until, in 2013, some of the second generation of cousins decided to create their own version of the family choir, naming themselves the Bevan Family Consort so as to distinguish them from their parents' generation. The Consort has since ranged in size from 15-22 of the 53 first cousins. To honour David and the influence he had over us all as musicians, this disc consists of music that was introduced to us by him during his years at the Holy Redeemer Church and that have since become beloved by us as a choir. |
