And now for something completely different…

We did it! Our recording of three of Pepusch's Chandos anthems is in the can! We recorded the Christmas piece Rejoice in the Lord, the first-ever 'numbers' Magnificat in English and intimate O Praise the Lord. The record company, Accent, are hoping the disc is released in time for the Christmas season.

There are many people to thank. We are extremely grateful to The Continuo Foundation, Angel Early Music Trust, Gemma Classical Music Trust, the Golsonscott Foundation and to al those individuals who sponsored a track on the CD or made a donation. Thank you all!

The singers distinguished themselves, dispatching the demanding vocal parts with verve and style: Ciara Hendrick, Alex Potter, Hugh Cutting, Nicholas Mulroy, Nicholas Todd, Vitali Rozynko and Edward Grint. We were, yet again, utterly amazing by the musicality and stamina (!) of the Girls Choir of Canterbury Cathedral and the direction of David Newsholme. This will be a disc to remember and one we think will change the way people feel about Pepusch as a composer and about England's vibrant musical life in the early eighteenth century.
