About

Sarah MacDonald and the Chapel Choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, continue their exploration of new British choral works in the debut recording of compositions by Mark Gotham.

Mark Gotham is a composer and music theorist based at the University of Cambridge, UK, where he works as an Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of Music, College Lecturer, and Director of Music-Making at Churchill College, and Director of Music and Director of Studies in Music at Murray Edwards College. His works have been performed by many artists including the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, and the BBC Singers.

Mark Gotham’s compositional technique is directly linked to his theoretical research where small cells of an idea - be they melodic, harmonic, or rhythmic - are explored, developed, and adorned into an intense and gripping large-scale structure.

This new disc features a selection of recent sacred choral works together with three solo instrumental items. It ends with the riotous community opera The Pied Piper of Hamelin where Selwyn College Choir are joined by Ely Cathedral Girls’ Choir, brilliantly characterful as the rats, baritone Jonathan Midgley as the Mayor, and distinguished actor and Selwyn alumnus, Tom Hollander, as the narrator.

The Chapel Choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, directed by Sarah MacDonald, have become well-known for their series of ground-breaking discs on Regent showcasing new music by British composers.
