Bach Byrd Britten
Choir of Ormond College, directed by Douglas Lawrence
Indicative of the choir's breadth of repertoire and talent in performing a vast range of musical styles, this disc features works by the great trilogy of choral composers, Bach, Byrd and Britten. Features Bach's motet 'Lobet den Herrn alle Heiden', Byrd's 'Mass for Four Voices' and Britten's delightful 'Five Flower Songs' and 'A Ceremony of Carols'.
Press quotes:
“...precise articulation enhances the lively Bach polyphony; suave melodic contouring highlights the elegance of Byrd's vocal lines and rhythmic precision and fine vocal blendings throw into sharp relief the spicy harmonies of Britten's delightful songs and carols.”
