Description
The Choir of Westminster Cathedral is the crowning jewel of Catholic church music and has been at the forefront of English sacred music since its foundation in 1901. This disc draws us into the mystery of the Paschal Vigil, the very apex of the Church's liturgical year, transporting us on a journey from darkness into light through a sequence of plainsong and polyphony. It is the first album under the choir's current director, Simon Johnson, picking up where Vexilla Regis (AF002) left off, and immerses the listener in the Cathedral's own unique treasury of liturgical music, including compositions crafted by its former musicians, as well as repertoire at the heart of the choir's work, represented here in polyphony by Victoria, Monteverdi and L'Heritier's glorious Surrexit pastor bonus.
