The largest work is the first recording of David Bednall’s major cycle of eight carols: Make we Merry for upper voices, brass, percussion, and organ, which was commissioned for Benenden Chapel Choir, and first performed by them in 2018. Also featured is the first recording of Bob Chilcott’s cycle The Midnight of your birth, and the first commercial recording of the complete upper-voice version of Snow Angel by Canadian composer, Sarah Quartel.
The highly polished performances of Benenden Chapel Choir will both entertain and inspire upper voice ensembles to perform these works for years to come.
Benenden Chapel Choir under the direction of Edward Whiting have built an enviable reputation as one of the UK’s finest upper-voice choirs through the critical recognition of their previous recording on Regent of David Bednall’s Stabat Mater (REGCD481), with Jennifer Pike (violin), which was a Gramophone Editor’s Choice.
