Description:

British composer William Massaius, whose previous release of a collection of choral works (8.573523) was highly acclaimed. Among his many works, including operas, symphonies, and concertos, he is best known for his traditional choral works for the church, and the music he wrote for the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles was heard by an estimated one billion people watching television. The album includes the canonical carol "A Green Child is Born," the world premiere recording of the delightful "Riddle," and "The Magnificat of May," in which the complex interplay of voices spun by the double chorus and chaim bar brings a haunting atmosphere, and the album also includes works that showcase Massaias's diverse You will be able to witness the versatility of Masaias' talent.
