The St John’s College Choir Cambridge presents their second album led by their new music director Christopher Gray. At the center of the program are the atmospheric Quatre Motets pour le temps de Noël by Francis Poulenc, and the heartfelt Three Carol-Anthems by Herbert Howells who directed the St John’s Choir during the Second World War. Other selections include the carol John Rutter wrote for the Choir in 1985, “There is a flower,” and the haunting “Peace on Earth” by Errollyn Wallen, appointed Master of the King’s Music in 2024. “My aim with this album has not been to break new ground with repertoire, but to ensure that classics remain fresh for the current generation” – Christopher Gray
