Sponsor a Minute of Music on our next recording
Help us to release a recording of canticles by Tippett, Leighton, Gabriel Jackson and many more.
We invite you to help support the Choir by sponsoring a minute of music on our next recording - Magnificat - due for release in October 2019.
Sponsor a minute of music on the Choir's next recording, Magnificat.
We are grateful to the generosity of our supporters in helping maintain our commitment to recording excellence. Establishing our own record label in 2016 gave us the artistic freedom to determine what repertoire we record and to bring commissioned works by composers with close ties to the College to a wider audience.
About the recording
Magnificat will be a reflection of the daily Evensong services the Choir gives in St John's College Chapel. At each service, the Choir performs a setting of the Canticles, which are the 'Magnificat' and 'Nunc dimittis' texts from the New Testament. This new recording will celebrate how composers as diverse as Stanford, Tippett, Leighton and Gabriel Jackson have responded to these centuries-old texts, and demonstrate the importance of Canticle settings to choral music lovers worldwide.
