‘The desire to evoke the sensation of light was one reason why I became a composer,’ says Julian Anderson. Silverbright and brilliantly focused, the Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge is the ideal choice for this first recording devoted to Anderson’s choral music.

From the intimacy of the wedding anthem My beloved spake and ringing clarity of Bell Mass, to the virtuosic second of the Four American Choruses and the extraordinary sound-world conjured by the Nunc dimittis, commissioned specially with this recording project in view, Geoffrey Webber’s singers have lived with this music over a period of around two years before committing it to disc, and their deep sympathy for its marriage of immaculate technique with emotional directness is evident throughout.
