Matthew Martin's fresh and vibrant style has established him as one of today's leading sacred choral composers.
Here the renowned Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford perform a selection of his works, celebrating liturgical music in all its variety - from the reticent carol Dormi, Jesu! and the imposing St John's College Service to settings of the Mass, motets and anthems, including the award-winning In the year that King Uzziah died.
"Martin's is often a spikily dynamic style of composition. The opening Jubilate Deo is full of thrust and enthusiasm...The Nunc dimittis of the St John's College Service brings the best of both composer and performers, the vocal writing swirling in kaleidoscopic patterns above a vaulting organ obbligato. A word of appreciation too for the gentleness and fragility caught in treble Oliver Doggett's solo contribution to Dormi, Jesu!" (BBC Music)
"The music of Matthew Martin (b.1976) is haunted by the spirits of British composers who died while he was in his teens...The Magdalen choir certainly make an exceptional sound, and Daniel Hyde's direction is notable for his attention to inner detail and clear sense of architecture." (Gramophone)
