The magical sounds of an a cappella choir
Take a journey through the ages of great choral music. Revel in the sounds of this gorgeous music.
If you loved the hugely popular Symphonic Hymns of the Forefathers, you're bound to love this. There is no symphony orchestra this time, just the magical sounds of an a cappella choir as they soar through this divine repertoire. It is bound to touch a spiritual nerve.
From the 15th century onwards, most of the renowned composers of this type of music are represented:- from Josquin through to Mendelssohn and Brahms and on to Duruflé, Howells and Biebl.
