Ikon under David Hill gives Choral Music for Christmas in "Venite, Gaudete!" off Naxos
Choral Music (Christmas) - NILES, J.J. / JOUBERT, J. / KIRKPATRICK, W.J. / HOLST, G. (Venite, Gaudete: Music for the Christmas Season) (Ikon, D. Hill)
This glorious programme represents both the unique magic of Christmas carols, and the deeply rooted tradition of re-inventing their words and music for the times in which they are performed.
From David Hill’s unashamedly lush, close-part harmonies enhancing Silent Night, to Eric Whitacre’s hallmark luminous vocal textures in "Lux aurumque," this recording is a superb celebration of the moving atmosphere and festive nature of the Christmas season.
Label: Naxos
