SING CHOIRS OF ANGELS
The Schola is about to release a new Christmas recording inspired by the
Vaughan's cherished
Service of Lessons and Carols
For generations, the annual Service of Lessons and Carols at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School has marked the closing days of Advent, bringing together Scripture, prayer and music in anticipation of Christmas. This recording captures the spirit of that much-loved tradition, tracing the Christmas story from Advent expectation through the Nativity to the Epiphany, and bringing together more than six centuries of music: medieval hymns, Renaissance motets, Victorian carols and contemporary settings.
The Schola Cantorum, directed by Scott Price, is joined by organist Iestyn Evans, Onyx Brass and former Schola treble Malakai Bayoh, whose celebrated voice features in O holy night. Together they evoke the colour, drama and intimacy of the Vaughan’s Christmas celebrations, from quiet contemplation to jubilant proclamation.
Sing Choirs of Angels, will be released on Friday 27 November. Two tracks are already available on streaming platforms, with a third due for release this coming Friday.
Please support the Schola by PRE-ORDERING the album,
either as a digital download or as a physical CD, complete with a beautifully produced booklet.
You can also listen to extracts from every track on the Ad Fontes website.
