Choral Music: G.webber / Cambridge Caius College Gonville Cho

This first recording devoted entirely to Judith Weir's choral music comprises her complete works to date for unaccompanied choir or choir with one instrument (trombone and marimba as well as the more usual organ). Tracking her evolving relationship with the medium from her earliest liturgical commission to the most recent, premiered in 2009, it also includes several secular pieces and her two solo organ works, which are now established classics of the repertoire. The athleticism, intensity and clarity that mark out Geoffrey Webber's choir are ideally suited to Weir's strikingly original, approachable and fascinating music.
