The première recordings of Gavin Bryars’s 32-part choral arrangement of his epochal minimalist work, Jesus’ blood never failed me yet, inspired by the singing of a homeless person on the streets of London, and an extended extrapolation in 25 parts of Robert Wylkynson’s 13-part canon from the Eton Choirbook, Jesus autem transiens, composed by Antony Pitts on a road trip into the heart of Australia. The Song Company and collaborating ensembles recorded this moving programme during lockdown in bedrooms and kitchens across Australia.
