Choir of Trinity College
choir
Calvin Bowman
composer
Calvin Bowman is acknowledged as one of Australia’s finest musicians: an outstanding organist, accompanist and chamber player who strives for nothing less than perfection.
Colin Brumby
composer
Colin Brumby (1933–2018) was an Australian composer and conductor whose prolific catalogue ranges across opera, concertos, chamber music, choral works and songs.
Herbert Howells
composer
Herbert Howells wrote Anglican church music of rare harmonic warmth and contemplative beauty, from carol-anthems such as A Spotless Rose to Latin motets and organ works steeped in the Tudor tradition.
Charles Hubert Hastings Parry
composer
Hubert Parry's music still fills cathedrals and coronations. Best known for the choral song Jerusalem, the coronation anthem I was glad and the hymn tune Repton, his writing joins ceremonial splendour to a humane, singable warmth.
Lajos Bárdos
composer
Richard Rodney Bennett
composer
Andrew Carter
composer
Henry Walford Davies
composer
Henry Walford Davies wrote Anglican chants, sacred songs and ceremonial music that still sit in the English choral repertory, from the quiet prayer of God Be In My Head to Solemn Melody and the Royal Air Force March Past.
Nicholas Edwards
composer
John Gardner
composer
John Gardner (1917–2011) was an English composer of classical music. His carol Tomorrow shall be my dancing day has become a familiar part of the Christmas choral repertoire.
Orlando Gibbons
composer
Orlando Gibbons wrote English madrigals, verse anthems, full anthems and keyboard music at the hinge of Renaissance and Baroque practice: lucid polyphony, rhetorical force without bombast, and lines that lodge in the ear like The Silver Swan.
John Joubert
composer
John Joubert wrote choral music that sits firmly in the Anglican tradition, above all the carols Torches and There is no rose of such virtue. His wider catalogue also takes in symphonies, concertos, chamber works and operas drawn from literature.
Charles Macpherson
composer
Robert Lucas Pearsall
composer
Robert Lucas Pearsall (1795–1856) was an English composer chiefly of vocal music. His elaborate arrangement of In dulci jubilo and the richly harmonic part-song Lay a garland remain staples of the choral repertoire.
Peter Philips
composer
Thomas Tallis
composer
Thomas Tallis wrote the sacred vocal music that still defines English Renaissance polyphony: dense, luminous counterpoint that can turn from spare Anglican clarity to seven-voice splendour and the famous forty-part Spem in alium.
Tomás Luis de Victoria
composer
Tomás Luis de Victoria wrote almost exclusively sacred polyphonic music to Latin texts: motets, Marian antiphons and Holy Week offices whose intensity and direct emotional line set him among the principal voices of the late Renaissance.

More to explore
Victoria Brass Live
A top-class Australian brass band under Matthew van Emmerik in a full, varied programme of innovative repertoire: two world premieres, three Australasian premieres, and some well-loved classics.
A Baroque Christmas
The music on this CD is a historical Christmas “pick of the pops”, from the late 1400s to the end of the Baroque period. Directed by Douglas Lawrence, the Australian Chamber Choir offers a programme recorded live in concert during their 2019 European tour. The 17 tracks are drawn from lesser-known seasonal works, championing a sublime repertoire that is all too often neglected.
Psalms
Psalms and chants from the Anglican and Taizé traditions, with two hymns, directed by Peter Chapman. Cantus Choro’s recording shows his love of Anglican psalmody, lively musicianship, and care for phrasing and words.
Miscellany for Flute and Harp
Throughout history composers have been drawn to the flute and harp pairing, from the shepherd’s pan-pipes and Orphean lyre of ancient Arcadia to the French court of Marie-Antoinette and Mozart’s duo concerto for the two instruments.
More Bizarre or baRock
"The hottest, hippest harpsichord in the world today," said one critic of the best-selling Bizarre or baRock. Melbourne harpsichordist Elizabeth Anderson returns with the long-awaited sequel.
The Glass Soldier
Music from Hannie Rayson’s play The Glass Soldier. Based on a true story, it is a sincere tribute to Australians who fought in the Great War: people who had little, yet gave everything.
