With a donation...
Thank you to everyone who donated to our recording project. We are excited that the CD 'Praise Him with Trumpets' will receive it's global launch on 30 January 2025.
Recorded in Clifton College Chapel, Conducted by Hilary Campbell and produced by Delphian Records it features the first ever recording of works by three female composers: Judith Weir's Praise Him with Trumpets, Elizabeth Poston's Festal Te Deum and Grace-Evangeline Mason's A Memory of the Ocean. The choir gave the world premiere of that piece in June, commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society and supported by the Ralph Vaughan Williams Foundation, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Vaughan Williams's birth.
The recording also features a work by Vaughan Williams: O Taste and See, plus Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb and Holst's Psalm 148, as well as some beautiful solo pieces sung by Soprano Charlotte Mobbs accompanied on piano by Steven Kings: Cecilia McDowall: Four Shakespeare Songs, Elizabeth Machonchy: Ophelia's Song and Vaughan Williams: Orpheus with his Flute.
Sponsors of over £50, receive a free copy of the CD, have their name listed in the liner notes and get an invitation to the launch event. The money raised helped to pay for the recording venue, the soloists and of course for the professional production team who are vital to the success of this project.
The launch event will take place on Friday 31st January 6.30pm at All Saints Church, Clifton tickets available via this link
