This album marks the culmination of a landmark project to re-imagine new works from old for saxophone, choir and organ. Celebrated saxophonist Sam Corkin is joined by Canterbury Cathedral Choir to bring a fresh perspective to some well-loved repertoire, recorded within the iconic surroundings of Canterbury Cathedral. Featuring fifteen specially commissioned works by leading composers including Gabriel Jackson, Errollyn Wallen and Roderick Williams.

"If the saxophone sometimes appears as something of an addition to the choral writing, the best examples - such as Gabriel Jackson's stirring Sancte Deus or Francis Pott's luminescent Rosa sine.." Gramophone
