This third
collaboration with John
L. Bell and The Cathedral
Singers continues the
tradition of top-notch
choral recordings, this
time featuring the
remarkably pure and
distinctive voice of
Mhairi Lawson, a member
of the Wild Goose Worship
Group. Seven Songs of
Mary offers a
contemporary perspective
on seven stations in the
life of Mary: the
Annunciation, the
Nativity, the
Presentation, the
Rejection, the Cross, the
Resurrection, and the
Assumption Each movement
begins with a recitative
by the Angel Gabriel, a
shepherd, Simeon, or a
disciple, and concludes
with a choral song.
Scored for organ,
strings, flute, trumpet,
and SATB voices, this is
wonderful concert
material, well within the
grasp of parish choirs.
And John Bell's psalm
compositions are the
perfect compliment to the
songs of Mary. Truly a
recording and music
collection to cherish.
