The two-thousand-strong congregation was regularly joined by people standing in the aisles! Today, the organ continues to combine its role of supporting the singing with solo performance of varied repertoire. Director of Music Thomas Laing-Reilly has at his hands an instrument seemingly able to speak any language. Its vast colour palette is demonstrated with striking clarity on this disc, in a range of repertory which crosses national borders with disarming ease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-tab-content\" id=\"panel-7ac6ba00-c67e-4275-8765-516cf3203918\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-7ac6ba00-c67e-4275-8765-516cf3203918\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-e585dd6a-f710-4f58-9032-e5b8e20e7631\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/adeste-fideles-organ-music-for-christmas\/1591610412?app=music\u0026amp;itsct=music_box_player\u0026amp;itscg=30200\u0026amp;ls=1\" height=\"450px\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *;

Opening with Jan Sandström’s sublime deconstruction of Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, Webber’s classy choir reveals and delights in equal measure, finding space for both the Venetian lushness of Gabrieli and the distilled purity of Webern in a seasonal collection which is also sprinkled with unexpected gems of more recent provenance. Edward Higginbottom’s jazz-infused Rocking Carol, Thomas Hewitt Jones’s eloquently expressive What Child is This?, and the small miracle that is Matthew Owens’ reimagined setting of The Holly and the Ivy – all glitter in a programme that dovetails old and new with characteristic Cambridge sophistication.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-tab-content\" id=\"panel-4ef084e4-1ab8-4af3-9ef6-abb1b6b5a388\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-4ef084e4-1ab8-4af3-9ef6-abb1b6b5a388\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-6439fc90-9534-4f44-aa34-9f1b6e5c0091\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/dormi-jesu-a-caius-christmas\/1561070236?app=music\u0026amp;itsct=music_box_player\u0026amp;itscg=30200\u0026amp;ls=1\" height=\"450px\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *;

Their intriguing programme highlights the saxophone’s natural kinship with the human voice, as well as the endless expressive possibilities which this versatile instrument stimulates in the imaginations of modern composers. Its athletic vigour launches Will Todd’s O Wisdom, the first of eight settings of the Advent antiphons in English which, having been commissioned by the present artists, now form the backbone of this recording. Elsewhere the instrument soars above the voices’ urgent prophecy and imploration, while the choir is heard unaccompanied in glowing renditions of sixteenth-century polyphony – works by Pierre Certon, Antoine de Mornable, Michael Praetorius and Josquin des Prez, whose music complements the atmosphere of quiet expectancy proper to Advent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-tab-content\" id=\"panel-4ef084e4-1ab8-4af3-9ef6-abb1b6b5a388\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-4ef084e4-1ab8-4af3-9ef6-abb1b6b5a388\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-b3c3e7b2-f0ed-490e-aa7a-03b9fb960d8f\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/drop-down-ye-heavens-advent-antiphons-for-choir-saxophone\/1591072070?app=music\u0026amp;itsct=music_box_player\u0026amp;itscg=30200\u0026amp;ls=1\" height=\"450px\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *;\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px; background: transparent;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-tab-content\" id=\"panel-5b6a119f-2795-48ab-857f-fb44b2469591\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-5b6a119f-2795-48ab-857f-fb44b2469591\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-e0d2fbcb-159b-4b54-8c04-b7b11b2976b8\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"slider-s-e0d2fbcb-159b-4b54-8c04-b7b11b2976b8\" class=\"shg-sld\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-content\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-nav-button shg-sld-left \"\u003e \u003csvg width=\"1792\" height=\"1792\" viewbox=\"0 0 1792 1792\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"fill: rgba(113, 113, 113, 1);\"\u003e \u003cpath d=\"M1203 544q0 13-10 23l-393 393 393 393q10 10 10 23t-10 23l-50 50q-10 10-23 10t-23-10l-466-466q-10-10-10-23t10-23l466-466q10-10 23-10t23 10l50 50q10 10 10 23z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e \u003c\/svg\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-slides shg-sld-slides-padded\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated shg-sld-active \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-09537fb2-a846-4375-9d3d-e85473f83e1d\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"a debut with a difference...A novel, ungimmicky project, vividly executed\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/985d4514-4567-4351-b8dc-f410b9d0d87e\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"64\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-a7b80739-bcb0-4561-b4ee-be75e3df0481\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\"Invigorating…Professional London startups can sound frustratingly generic but this one hits you with its character and depth\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/bf50e6ff-a44f-41ff-8481-84861b3891e0\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"52\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-f4f3febb-a954-4a88-b638-b51a263ebfa9\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre';\"\u003e\"This marvellous disc offers a stimulating new slant on the music of Advent.

The cathedral of the young, thriving city of Puebla de los Ángeles was still a magnificent work in progress, but its music provision could already rival its European counterparts.

The programme is interesting and well-devised, while the execution is excellent. The programme has been shrewdly chosen in more ways than one. There are several items that feature the Girl Choristers only and others where they join with the other three voice parts in the choir. There’s also a pleasing blend of the familiar and unfamiliar. I think Benjamin Nicholas has got the programme balance just right ... [Errollyn Wallen's] \u003cem\u003ePeace on Earth\u003c\/em\u003e is delicate and haunting; I loved it ... The girls are extremely accomplished singers. And any lack of experience is more than compensated by the freshness and purity of tone with which they sing. They combine very well indeed with the more senior singers of the College Choir and in the items that they sing by themselves they are a consistent delight to hear. This is a most auspicious debut CD and I hope we’ll hear more of them ... Every year the market is flooded with discs of Christmas music but this is one that in terms of interest and quality stands out from the crowd'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eJohn Quinn - MusicWeb International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.musicweb-international.com\/Classrev\/2022\/Nov\/Merton-christmas-DCD34262.htm\"\u003eread the full review here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-9b987e90-e320-4bcc-8b1a-b5d38ce1cf88\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 22px;\"\u003e\"These choristers have only been singing for five years under Benjamin Nicholas, but already they're a really tight outfit: beautiful blend of tone ...\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/4e38028c-65ac-4e7e-8b61-230044838ea1\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"93\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-6c6e0dbf-e4e1-4faa-8f7b-5dd2e0cbb797\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\"One of my favourite traditional Christmas recordings this season ...

And you can forget the ‘Pastoral Symphony’ from Messiah, the Sinfonia from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, and even Corelli’s ‘Christmas Concerto’. The programme is bookended by two Vivaldi concertos (although emphatically not ‘Winter’ from The Four Seasons!), but the rest is from largely Germanic, Catholic south-central Europe: Austria and the Habsburg lands. There are rarities aplenty, and even a couple of premiere recordings ... the whole work shimmers with a tender luminosity that is completely captivating ... Čičić and his colleagues deliver consistently assured, lively and polished performances, with bucolic edginess where appropriate, and a variety of continuo instrumentation including not just harpsichord and organ but also theorbo, Baroque triple harp and bassoon. They are vividly recorded for Delphian in a nicely focussed church acoustic by Paul Baxter, and there are detailed notes on the music by Robert Rawson. It’s an immensely enjoyable disc, fizzing with delights from start to finish, and a most welcome alternative to the carols and songs that seem to take over the airwaves and public address systems at this time of year.

At certain points they’re joined by flautist Chloe Vincent. When that happens the pure, silvery sound of the flute adds a lovely extra dimension to the texture ... Dame Sarah Connolly has the role of Mary; luxury casting indeed ... there’s no doubting Connolly’s expressiveness... Anyone who has heard the Merton College choir previously will know that their standards are always exceptionally high; that’s the case in this performance, too. Nichloas shapes the music with great care and his choir delivers a touching performance. Bob Chilcott’s Christmas Oratorio made a very positive impression on me when I first heard it; the opportunity to hear it again and to appreciate it at greater leisure has strengthened that impression. The work is accessible, attractive and very sincere. It’s also very well constructed ... This excellent premiere recording will surely heighten awareness of this expertly crafted and attractive score ... \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eJohn Quinn - MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/musicwebinternational.com\/2023\/11\/chilcott-christmas-oratorio-delphian\/\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eread the full review here\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-59f7133b-f778-4695-8df3-deed387796b4\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\"A new Christmas Oratorio. When was the last time we had one of those? ... It’s a mighty undertaking to compose a new addition to that select canon, but today’s Recording of the Week shows Bob Chilcott to be a real contender ... The Oratorio proper begins with the warm sounds of brass quintet (drawn from the Oxford Contemporary Sinfonia) and organ. I admit that when I saw the track-listing I was wary - it’s always wise for composers to think twice before deciding that the world definitely needs \u003cem\u003etheir \u003c\/em\u003esettings of texts that have been immortalised in someone else’s - but somehow, when those first rich chords came in to set up the opening hymn \u003cem\u003eLo! How a Rose, e’er blooming \u003c\/em\u003e(perfectly blended and mellow, as the brass are throughout), I knew it was going to be alright ... Much of Chilcott’s music conveys a sense of comfort and reassurance, that his music is intended (as Bach said of his \u003cem\u003eGoldberg Variations\u003c\/em\u003e) to “refresh the spirits” ... the fundamental warmth and wholesomeness of Chilcott’s music is enough to thaw the entire [cover] scene from the inside out\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/9442a5f8-8c8b-4812-82bb-1faf8a026d58\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"35\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.prestomusic.com\/classical\/articles\/5645--recording-of-the-week-bob-chilcotts-christmas-oratorio\"\u003eRECORDING OF THE WEEK - 4 December 2023\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-a700b7c0-5d3a-41f4-ace6-274bb0e78ff5\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\"From Schütz, JS Bach and Charpentier onwards, many composers have drawn inspiration from the Christmas narratives contained in the St Luke and St Matthew Gospels. Bob Chilcott’s 2019 retelling adds a diverse selection of 16th- to 20th-century poetry to the biblical texts to create a rich, coherent tapestry ...Benjamin Nicholas draws a well-rounded and confident performance from his Merton choristers. They make the most of the luscious possibilities of the double-chorus \u003cem\u003ePear Tree Carol\u003c\/em\u003e that helps to fill up the disc. The most outstanding contribution comes from Nick Pritchard, who takes the tenor’s traditional role as evangelist or narrator. Always accompanied by the harp, his engaging, passionate delivery is crystal-clear and a great bonus. The brass ensemble is sparingly employed (and is all the more effective for it), providing stalwart support for the bass solo passages and the final verses of the hymns. This is certainly an enriching addition to a niche repertory; it would make a perfect programme partner to Finzi’s Christmas scena \u003cem\u003eIn terra pax ...\u003c\/em\u003e Juicy harmonies abound in the delicious Welcome, all wonders in one sight!, which rounds off this enjoyable album, the perfect tonic for the excesses of the approaching festive season\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/1e23db42-c1fe-4a7c-9887-89fa14fc1bd6\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"42\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-90ca2f01-40b9-451f-8b71-312eb9be85d4\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eOne of the strengths of this oratorio lies in the narrative from Luke, given to the Evangelist – Nick Pritchard, here as at the premiere – whose mellifluous, quiet tale-telling adds lyrical narrative in between organ-accompanied hymns and new carol settings ...

It is structured a bit like a Bach passion, with an Evangelist (Pritchard, in earnest storyteller mode) getting through the narrative, amid solo meditations and hymns for the choir ... the hymns were for me the big success: “Shepherds in the field abiding” and “Thou whose almighty word” are glorious, singable numbers with soaring descants. I also welcomed the opening track, a setting of “Jesus Christ the apple tree” for upper voices, which will hopefully eclipse the inexplicably popular Elizabeth Poston version, whose appearance can mar

I found much to admire in Nesbit’s score. The writing for the choir is consistently interesting – and very well put across by Joseph Fort’s accomplished choir ... Nesbit deploys both the harp and the horn to excellent effect; neither instrument plays all the time but when they are involved it is unfailingly to add important colour and\/or melodic interest. \u003cem\u003eNativity \u003c\/em\u003eis a most attractive and imaginative score and I like the originality of Nesbit’s concept. All the performers give of their best and it’s hard to imagine that the work could have received a finer first recording ... The concluding piece, ‘Abowt the fyld thei pyped full right’ is bright, joyful and full of energy. ... Edwards Nesbit’s music is inventive, interesting and accessible; I enjoyed what I heard. More than that, in the works included here, all of which are receiving their premiere recordings, Nesbit displays an original and discerning approach to Christmas music. He is very well served by the performers. Joseph Fort has clearly prepared his choir assiduously for this assignment and they make an excellent impression. The voices are young and fresh, producing a very nice, clear sound. The performances have been very successfully recorded by Paul Baxter.

The company consistently fosters the growth of emerging composers ... Nesbit has successfully achieved a distinctive sound with his chosen texts, which include excerpts from the \u003cem\u003eTilethatchers Play\u003c\/em\u003e, the York cycle of Mystery Plays, and three Christmas poems by the Welsh metaphysical poet Henry Vaughan. The score for mezzo-soprano and baritone soloists, SATB choir, horn, and harp is particularly effective. They combine beautifully, especially when Benedict Nelson’s baritone is accompanied by a haunting harp and horn. Mezzo Angharad Lyddon is equally lovely, especially in the lullaby, as she portrays Mary with underlying men's voice in an atmospheric section. Nesbit’s compositional skill is innovative and original; it is certainly pleasing and melodic. A particularly delightful section of Nativity is \u003cem\u003ePeace?and to all the world?\u003c\/em\u003e the horn's rhythmic accompaniment is hypnotic ... Joseph Fort’s young choir is impressive, with polished performances that capture the different moods superbly; the control and balance are perfect, and there are moments of beauty in the a cappella work. The second evocative \u003cem\u003eWycliffe Carol\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIn to Plain Ways,\u003c\/em\u003e is a case in point. Sensitive and vivid. An enjoyable disc, well recorded, offering something different but effective in the use of instrumentation for the Christmas period.

It's different - a very unusual take on the Nativity, in terms of both the recently composed music and the ancient words set - and sometimes slightly on the weird side. It's also doing this with attractive, unusual and economic forces - two vocal soloists in the first work, mixed choir and sometimes horn and harp ... The composer's fascinating and extensive liner notes show that all the music here has been very carefully researched, planned and implemented, and he points to many connections and references, to a wealth of detail and to the humour in some of the writing ...

It is epic in conception, and unusual for a piece this size in being entirely choral, without solo voices, although with solo instruments fulfilling a similar function. The accompaniment, by the Oxford Contemporary Sinfonia, has three trombones, giving it often the flavour of Stravinsky’s Mass. There is a prominent part for alto saxophone (Sam Corkin), who dances around the choral lines offering a kind of musical exegesis. Also important in the texture is Chris Brannick’s percussion, not a common timbre in liturgical music, but very welcome here. The music has Gabriel Jackson’s signature weightiness, blocks of chordal material alternating with melismatic melodies. The scale of the music and sweep of the text is cinematic and monumental – and it builds to a powerful and light-suffused final section, “O nata lux de lumine”\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"line-height: 22px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.shgcdn.com\/7569e30c-eb59-45c0-85f4-b62222a818cb\/-\/format\/auto\/-\/preview\/3000x3000\/-\/quality\/lighter\/\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"100\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-47d65ce9-99f6-4f93-9545-ad61f63555c4\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 22px;\"\u003e\"Here is a version of the Christmas story both familiar and strange.

Recorded by the same chapel choir, its Girl Choristers and the Oxford Contemporary Sinfonia under Benjamin Nicholas, the narrative - to texts sourced by college chaplain the Revd Dr Simon Jones - extends from Advent to Candlemas, which Jackson addresses with subliminal reference to Heinrich Schütz’s eponymous 17th century precursor. The three-trombones sonority offers the most literal connection. Jackson’s distinctive voice asserts its own authority, the choral writing is enriched by close-knit harmonic density and exotically-charged instrumentations include a rather saucy saxophone.

\u003cem\u003eAdvent Calendar\u003c\/em\u003e. Following three acclaimed Delphian recordings of Tudor music, Toby Ward and Ensemble Pro Victoria bring fresh, contemporary colours to the seasons of Advent and Christmas; the mood is quiet anticipation, guarded joy, sometimes even fear and uncertainty, as the Virgin – the spotless Rose at the still centre of it all – sings her son to sleep amidst death and persecution. Williams narrates the Nativity story, around which the choir weave Hugo Distler’s searching polyphonic variations; Piers Connor Kennedy’s \u003cem\u003eNowel el el\u003c\/em\u003e for harp and just six men’s voices is an intimate companion piece – or contrast – to Britten’s famous carol cycle, and has its first recording here by the group for which it was written.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 24px;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-tab-content\" id=\"panel-4ef084e4-1ab8-4af3-9ef6-abb1b6b5a388\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-4ef084e4-1ab8-4af3-9ef6-abb1b6b5a388\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-8f46f080-411b-4315-a0e3-1b21f2e1b773\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003ciframe allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; fullscreen *; clipboard-write\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:10px;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/nowel-advent-beyond\/1843393412\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shogun-tab-content\" id=\"panel-5b6a119f-2795-48ab-857f-fb44b2469591\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-5b6a119f-2795-48ab-857f-fb44b2469591\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-ca5c431e-6f61-4e72-8527-f8de9e55c8c0\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"slider-s-ca5c431e-6f61-4e72-8527-f8de9e55c8c0\" class=\"shg-sld\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-content\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-nav-button shg-sld-left \"\u003e \u003csvg width=\"1792\" height=\"1792\" viewbox=\"0 0 1792 1792\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"fill: rgba(113, 113, 113, 1);\"\u003e \u003cpath d=\"M1203 544q0 13-10 23l-393 393 393 393q10 10 10 23t-10 23l-50 50q-10 10-23 10t-23-10l-466-466q-10-10-10-23t10-23l466-466q10-10 23-10t23 10l50 50q10 10 10 23z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e \u003c\/svg\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-slides shg-sld-slides-padded\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-sld-item animate__animated shg-sld-active \"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"s-0ad6c66a-7b49-43bb-9941-257177021c8e\" class=\"shg-c \"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content shg-proportional-font-size\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: calc(22px * var(--proportional-font-size) \/ 100); text-align: center; line-height: 25px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Abhaya Libre'; font-weight: 400;\"\u003e‘Chorale Variations from \u003cem\u003eDie Weihnachtsgeschichte\u003c\/em\u003e, Op 10 and Piers Connor Kennedy, who sets Williams's poetry in \u003cem\u003eNowel el el \u003c\/em\u003efor lower voices and harpist Cecily Beer - a partner piece for Britten's \u003cem\u003eA Ceremony of Carols\u003c\/em\u003e.

Common to all are the homogenous voices (and sundry instrumentalists) of Toby Ward’s Ensemble Pro Victoria, flawlessly pure in such established favourites as Howells’ A Spotless Rose, Byrd’s Lully, Lullaby and the traditional German choral Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, but equally surprising us with the inclusion of the tragically suicidal Hugo Distler’s 1930s Choral Variations on Die Weihnachtsgeschichte (as skilfully polyphonic as any of Bach’s), Piers Connor Kennedy’s affable Nowel el el for harp and male voices (clearly modelled on Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols), and carols by other living composers David McGregor and Philip WJ Stopford.
