This album has one rule: every track had to have a “B” in it! From Bach to Brahms, the Beatles to the Barber of Seville, this album is an eclectic mix of styles and genres, full of character and finesse.
Album notes:
“Our young choir, which turns five in 2010, has thrived on presenting a highly successful series of single-idea concerts. These have included programmes devoted to the music of particular countries, or to reflections on childhood, or – with the Irish premiere of James MacMillan’s Cantos Sagrados – to the intense portrayal of life under an oppressive regime.
It was only with our catch-all 2009 concert “Something Beginning With B”, when we took a break from the notion of the single-idea programme, that we realised we had the perfect ingredients for a great and diverse debut CD. It didn’t matter if the “B” was for a composer or title or genre, whether it was Brahms, Benedictio, or barbershop. Once there was a “B”, it was in!
Enjoy!
Bernie Sherlock
