About

Cappella Nova has a longstanding reputation of championing contemporary music, and its latest album Consecration is no exception. Comprising world premiere recordings in a programme specially curated by Sir James MacMillan, it includes a very personal selection of the composer’s recent choral works. The sequence of five Culham Motets, written for the consecration of the Chapel of Christ the Redeemer at Culham Court on 9 December 2015, show MacMillan at his transcendently numinous best in an emotional and technical tour de force, setting texts of visionary and mystic ceremonial power. Consecration also includes MacMillan’s well-beloved St Anne’s Mass along with a fascinating collection of works written for family occasions: the weddings of two of his children and his father’s Requiem Mass. This is the fourth instalment of Cappella Nova’s celebrated MacMillan series on Linn.

Reviews

January 2022

the Scottish-based choir once more brings a rare beauty and depth of sound to MacMillan’s radiant music. At the album’s heart are the five Culham Motets...Previously unrecorded, the cycle makes for a satisfying whole, and here receives a compelling and committed reading.

July/August 2022

MacMillan’s consistency in writing effectively and communicatively for choir is not in doubt. The performances cannot be faulted. Toward the end of Sing joyfully to the Lord, the Psalm text entreats musicians to “play skilfully, and shout for joy,” and that has been achieved here by the musicians who participated in this release.

January 2022

This is an important release and would make an excellent stand-alone introduction to MacMillan’s distinguished and stimulating choral music. Strongly recommended.
