06 July 2019 - Evensong with Electronics

Recorded on
Saturday, 6 July 2019

David Nunn's Sitivit anima mea was composed for the College Choir in 2018. David is a recent graduate of the University of Cambridge and is studying for an MMus in Composition at the Royal Academy of Music. He says of Sitivit anima mea:

"My aim with this piece was to create an immersive environment. The electronics are entirely composed of water samples and pure sine waves, which are combined with freely-chanted text. My hope is that the resultant texture alludes to a God who is at once transcendent and immanent."

Latest news

Magnificat 4 includes two commissions written specially for the Choir of St John's College; Jonathan Dove's 2022 canticle setting St John's Service, and Judith Weir's 2011 service of the same name.

Winner of the 2008 Ivor Novello Award for classical music, Jonathan Dove CBE has composed a broad range of works and is one of the most successful British composers today. 

Jonathan was kind enough to share insights into his St John's Service, the compositional process, and what we can look forward to in the future.

The commitment, projection and natural energy of this choir have never failed to inspire me
