Wells Cathedral Choir, Jonathan Vaughn (organ) & Matthew Owens (conductor)
Named as one of the world’s finest choirs by Gramophone, Wells Cathedral Choir and their director Matthew Owens make their Resonus Classics debut with a programme of carols typically performed during the Christmas season in Wells - A Wells Christmas.
With an irresistible array of popular carols and more recent offerings this scintillating and varied programme is vividly realised by the combined boy and girl choristers and Vicars Choral that continue the 1100-year-old tradition of music in Wells Cathedral. Included in this compelling programme are works by David Willcocks, Andrew Carter, John Rutter, and Kenneth Leighton, Thomas Hewitt Jones. Also included are world premieres by Bob Chilcott, Jefferson McConnaughey & Matthew Owens.
| 1. | Bob Chilcott: Sussex Carol | 2:02 | | | 2. | Andrew Carter: A maiden most gentle | 2:52 | | | 3. | Jefferson McConnaughey: In the bleak midwinter | 4:19 | | | 4. | Malcolm Sargent: Zither Carol | 2:37 | | | 5. | Matthew Owens: Lullay, my liking | 5:22 | | | 6. | David Willcocks: Deck the hall | 1:19 | | | 7. | John Rutter: Donkey Carol | 4:34 | | | 8. | David Willcocks: Tomorrow shall be my dancing day | 2:04 | | | 9. | Ralph Vaughan Williams: This is the truth sent from above | 3:02 | | | 10. | John Rutter: Sans Day Carol | 3:13 | | | 11. | Alfred Hollins: Christmas Cradle Song | 3:06 | | | 12. | Bob Chilcott: The Sparrow's Carol | 2:31 | | | 13. | Thomas Hewitt Jones: What child is this? | 4:52 | | | 14. | John Rutter: Jesus Child | 3:22 | | | 15. | John Rutter: I saw three ships | 2:15 | | | 16. | Kenneth Leighton: O leave your sheep | 4:52 | | | 17. | David Willcocks: Jingle, bells | 2:10 | | | 18. | Richard Elliott: I Saw Three Ships | 2:06 | | | 19. | Arthur Warell: A Merry Christmas | 1:34 | | | 20. | Peter Gritton: Have yourself a merry little Christmas | 3:31 | |
'Seamlessly blended by choirmaster Matthew Owens, who has cultivated a bright, gleaming sonority, and the type of crisp attack heard to good effect in the Zither Carol…this is a desirable collection.'
