'Magnificat' - the new album from The Choir of St John's
Posted on: 20 September 2019
The Choir of St John’s' new album - Magnificat - celebrates their daily tradition of Evensong and is released on 25 October 2019.
The album contains six contrasting settings of the Evening Canticles, repertoire that plays an important role in the Choir’s daily music-making. Each of the settings chosen by Director of Music Andrew Nethsingha has personal significance to his musical life – his time at the Royal College of Music, Truro Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral, and now, St John’s College.
Watch Andrew Nethsingha's interview on Magnificat, in which he introduces the repertoire and discusses the Choir's sound.
