Reviews

'Another Oxbridge college, another fine mixed-voice choir, another gorgeously captured chapel acoustic (Mike Hatch engineering)—this selection of favourite pieces by mainly British composers makes a pleasingly intimate impression' (Gramophone)
RECORDING

'This album provides a lovely programme of music. The Choir of Jesus College, Cambridge perform beautifully and the album contains a lot of wonderful rarities' (Classic FM)
Elizabeth Poston was a composer, arranger, pianist and arts administrator. Her best-known compositions are based upon folk tunes, and her setting of Jesus Christ the apple tree (the author of the New England poem is unknown), spread her name across the English-speaking world. It is her most famous composition, admirably displaying her qualities as a sensitive creative figure.
