Requiem - Jesus College, Cambridge, The Choir Of - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

First time the Britten Sinfonia and Choir of Jesus College Cambridge have recorded together. Requiem by leading Choral composer and former King's Singer Bill 'Grayston' Ives.

Bill Ives has enjoyed a rich and varied career as both performer and composer (Grayston Ives). These experiences, culminating in nearly two decades as Informator Choristarum (Director of Music) at Magdalen College, Oxford, are reflected in a compositional style which is complex yet accessible, rich and colourful. His choral music comes from the heart, and this deeply personal reaction to the texts enables the performer or listener to engage with and enjoy the music to its full extent.

This recording represents two ‘firsts’ for the choirs of Jesus College, Cambridge: The first time the choir have collaborated on a recording with the Britten Sinfonia, as well as is the first time both chapel and college choirs they have joined forces for an entire album.
