The Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford led by Mark Williams (Music Director and organist) present 13 premiere recordings of works by Nico Muhly written expressly for — and the majority commissioned by — the Choir. Comprising settings of the mass and canticles alongside anthems for Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascensiontide, Trinity Sunday, and Remembrance, the collection sets a number of little-known texts, casting new light on familiar seasons of the church year. The Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford was founded in 1480, as one of the largest choral foundations in late-medieval England, and this historic legacy has been preserved and maintained over five centuries. The Choir, which now enjoys an international reputation as one of the finest ensembles in the UK, exists primarily to sing the daily church services in Magdalen College Chapel.
