The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge

We've all had a busy week and about to have another as term gets well under-way. Thankfully, the onslaught of essays, supervisions and lectures has been balanced by an excellent and diverse music list in Chapel. We started the week with a Festal Evensong for St Luke where we sang Bullock, Howells, Noble and Fauré, added a new piece of Byrd (Make we joy) to the Men's Voices repertoire on Wednesday and looked forward to Advent with Anthony Milner's Out of your sleep. Then followed two services of Weekles which accompanied music by Chapel Royal composers, Henry Purcell and one of his teachers, Pelham Humfrey, from the Restoration period. The anthem which has been our repertoire for a few years now, O Lord, my God, is one of my favourites and will hopefully make it onto our forthcoming recording of Henry Purcell's music, to be laid down in January.
