New from The Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford

Arise my love - Music for the Break of Day

Album Description

Spanning 500 years from the exquisite simplicity of Thomas Tallis’ perfect miniature O nata lux through Britten’s jubilant Festival Te Deum to Cheryl Frances-Hoad’s majestic O come let us sing unto the lord, this album celebrates the hope and anticipation that comes with the beginning of a new day.

Arise my love perfectly complements Magdalen’s first album on CORO, Peace I leave with you, which celebrates music written for the end of the day.
