Celebrating its 30th release on Hyperion, the Choir of Trinity College Cambridge dedicates its latest project to secular choral music by Gerald Finzi. This, the debut release for Trinity's newly appointed Director of Music Steven Grahl, presents three of Finzi's larger choral works in first recordings of these arrangements.
Written during the 1930s and '40s, this music dwells on the transience of mortal life and human happiness through Finzi's unique compositional voice: a mix of outwardly festive works (For St Cecilia) and darker, more introspective music (Requiem da camera). Each of these major works is newly published in arrangements for choir and organ, enabling future performance opportunities for a wider range of ensembles.
"Three major works spanning Finzi's composing career from a choir - Trinity College Cambridge - that continues, under Steven Grahl, to build on its impressive reputation on record." Gramophone Editor's Choice
