Anyone who has sung in a church choir will
inevitably have encountered some, and perhaps the majority of the music on this Compact
Disc. The effect is like taking a journey through three Centuries of favourite Anthems,
not least, three of the most famous settings of Ave Verum Corpus - by Byrd, Mozart
and Elgar. Other works represented are: Tallis - O nata lux, Bach - Jesu Joy of
Man’s desiring, Wesley - Wash me throughly, Franck - Panis angelicus,
Jacob - Brother James’ Air and Walford Davies - God be in my head.
The now world-famous Cambridge Choir from Clare College sing with great refinement and
give typically idiosyncratic performances of each work. As ever, they are guided superbly
by Timothy Brown.
