A Song of the New Jerusalem
was commissioned by the John
Sanders Society and first
performed by The Gloucester
Cathedral Choir (UK) in July
2011. Matthew Martin's setting
of this passage from
Revelations is both powerful
and ethereal, with distant,
chant-like vocal lines offset
by the organ accompaniment,
which is at times majestic, at
times otherworldly. Suitable
for use throughout the
liturgical year.
The Faber Choral Signature
Series introduces a wealth of
new or recently written choral
music to choirs in search of
fresh repertoire. The series
draws in a rich diversity of
contemporary composers and
includes both lighter and more
challenging contemporary
works, offering a thrilling
array of varied styles.
A cappella.
