A comprehensive survey of choral and organ works by Marcus Huxley, Director of Music of Birmingham Cathedral since 1986.
All except one of the 22 works on the disc are new to the catalogue.
A wide variety of musical styles , including evening canticles, anthems, carols, organ works, and a large-scale setting of the Passion according to St Luke.
Very approachable and skilfully-crafted music, much of it within the capabilities of parish church choirs, this recording is marvellous resource for both choir trainers and clergy looking for eminently-singable new music.
The third recording on the Regent label from our local cathedral choir!

“Huxley gets good responsive singing from his choir...people running good quality parish choirs could find this disc a good investment s it will alert them to some well-crafted music that they could usefully introduce to their own choirs.”
