Synopsis

Product Description
Refugium is a wonderful collection of contemporary British choral music performed by Trinity Boys Choir under the direction of David Swinson. At its heart is the title work, Refugium, by Graham Lack. This seven-movement work uses texts by Petar Hektorovic´, each chiselled into his palace walls in Croatia. Refugium is written for three separate islands of percussion instruments, comprising those of ancient origin and those of more recent times. The combination of SATB choir, organ and percussion is both notable and interesting, and clearly represents a contemporary sound world. Continuing this theme, the rest of the programme combines the established with the new, with works by Jonathan Dove, Richard Wilberforce, Lewis Brito-Babapulle, Howard Moody, Tom Harrold, Judith Weir and John Tavener. The disc was recorded in Munichs Herz-Jesu-Kirche, with its beautiful acoustic and spectacular Woehl organ.
