Three Songs of Faith


Conspirare & Company of Voices, Craig Hella Johnson

This CD returns Conspirare's Grammy®-nominated recording Requiem, originally released on the Clarion label in 2006, to the active catalogue. Selections on the disc range from Herbert Howells' Requiem to selections from Eric Whitacre's sublime Three Songs of Faith.Two works:We remember them by Donald Grantham and Eliza Gilkyson's Requiem, written in response to the catastrophic Asian tsunami in 2004, receive their debut recordings on this release.Taking up a theme as old as music itself, five modern composers turn their attention to reflections on death, loss and gratitude for living.

“As Conspirare, the Texas-based Company of Voices and pianist Craig Hella Johnson challenge Britain's choral mavens in this graceful reading of Howells' Requiem, with its sublime third and fifth movements.” The Independent on Sunday, 9th August 2009

“The perfect, and perfectly lovely, unity of Conspirare's choral tone was not entirely welcome. But they're not bland: their care for words and expression guards against that, as does their alertness to changes of mood, whether by movement or modulation. There is a constant assurance of intelligent direction.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2009

Cantatrix, Geert-Jan van Beijeren Bergen en Henegouwen

Cantatrix is an ensemble aiming for the highest level of choral singing. In their first CD the singers present a programme of mainly contemporary music. The principal characteristic of the repertoire in this recording is the high degree of variety, resulting in, you’ve guessed it, contrasts.

“the choral balance and tone are excellent...the performance of 'Go, song of mine' is beautifully shaped, with expressive phrasing from the sopranos. Lauridsen's atmospheric songs are sung in good, idiomatic French, sensitively accompanied by pianist Noriko Yabe” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010
