In the vast, echoing space of their Mediaeval home the boys and men of Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum celebrate the awe and mystery of Christmas, ushering in the birth of the Christchild with a sequence of carols from the last two centuries that combines familiar names with offerings from some of today's foremost composers.

Thomas Weelkes is remembered as one of the outstanding English composers of the 17th century. This survey of Weelkes' services, verse anthems and sacred madrigals features first recordings of several works in new reconstructions by scholar Peter James.

O Jonathan
Rejoice in the Lord
Te Deum & Jubilate (Eighth Service)
O how amiable are thy dwellings
Christ rising again
When David Heard
Laboravi in gemitu meo
Magnificat & Nunc dimittis (Third Service 'in F fa ut')

Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum
Charivari Agréable
Laurence Kilsby treble
Jeremy Kenyon alto
Christopher Watson tenor
Christopher Borrett bass
Benjamin Nicholas director
Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum and Charivari Agréable come together for the first time in vividly communicative interpretations of three of Mozart’s sacred masterpieces. The forces are very much as Mozart intended - a period orchestra, an all-male chorus and soloists (including 2009 BBC Chorister of the Year Laurence Kilsby) drawn from the choir. Under Benjamin Nicholas’s spirited direction these performances bristle with energy and the invigorating freshness of youth.

Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum
Carleton Etherington organ
Benjamin Nicholas director
For his final recording with the men and boys of Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum, Benjamin Nicholas has chosen to celebrate Britain’s best-loved living composer, John Rutter. Rather than simply sticking to familiar classics, this programme explores the full range of the composer’s output from The Lord is my shepherd and Lord, thou hast been our refuge to his most recent piece This is the day, written for the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Rutter’s rare communicative gifts are given a special glow by the refulgent acoustic of Tewkesbury Abbey and the choir’s luminous singing.

4 Carol of the Magi
5 As the bridegroom to his chosen
