We hear from three successive Masters of the Music whose combined service spans nearly a century; other members of the Minster foundation; and significant contemporary choral composers, including Judith Bingham and Francis Grier, offering new, commissioned interpretations of traditional texts. Some of the music recorded here is imbued with personal significance and reveals the ‘extended family’ dimension of this great Cathedral, whose worship is enhanced and beautified by the unique variety of ‘Music for the Choir of York Minster’.
York Minster is one of the largest historic church buildings in northern Europe and its choir contributes to the daily round of sung worship held there for nearly a millenium. Under the directorship of Robert Sharpe since 2008, the choir has established a growing international reputation.
