Composer/Series: Kerensa Briggs Requiem
Description
Now in her early thirties, Kerensa Briggs could
hardly have enjoyed a more salubrious
childhood for a composer of sacred choral
music, surrounded by music in Gloucester
Cathedral close, singing in choirs and hearing
the daily choral services. Briggs went on to
study music and sing as a choral scholar at
King’s College London, and her music and her
understanding of the way the voice works
have their roots in this deep immersion.
This recording is the first dedicated to her
music, in a portrait programme of premieres.
Joseph Fort and The Choir of King’s College
London continue to attract widespread critical
acclaim, both for the ambition of their
recorded programmes and for their polished
and mature execution.
