.. Riseth / Choral Music For Easter |
| | Description: | Now The Green Blade Riseth is an album by King's College Choir Cambridge, released in 2022. The album is a classical CD.
The Choir of Kingâ??s College, Cambridge releases a beautiful and varied selection of Easter choral music on its new album under the direction of Daniel Hyde.
Now the Green Blade Riseth is a procession through time and history, with music rooted in ancient Gregorian chant all the way through to contemporary works charting the course of Holy Week and Easter.
The album presents not only a rich variety of choral music but a demonstration of the flexibility and agility of the Choir of Kingâ??s College: Daniel Hyde conducts the Choir in music from the â??Golden Age of English Polyphonyâ?? (Byrdâ??s Civitas) and the era of Italian grand opera (Rossiniâ??s O salutaris Hostia), as well Victorian, Edwardian and mid-twentieth century choral masterpieces.
A selection of popular Easter hymns structures the programme, which culminates in Durufléâ??s stunning transcription of Tournemireâ??s Choral Improvisation sur le
â??Victimæ Paschaliâ??, performed by Matthew Martin on the Kingâ??s College organ. - .. RISETH / CHORAL MUSIC FOR EASTER"Now the Green Blade Riseth - Choral Music for Easter" on CD presents a radiant selection of Anglican choral works that trace the spiritual arc from Passion to Resurrection. Under the direction of Daniel Hyde, the Choir of King's College, Cambridge weaves together traditional hymns, anthems and contemporary settings that explore themes of suffering, hope and new life. Characterised by immaculate ensemble, luminous treble lines and a deep sense of liturgical space, this recording is designed both for focused listening and for quiet contemplation during the Easter season. The programme typically centres around the well-loved hymn "Now the Green Blade Riseth" and related repertoire that reflects the mystery and joy of Easter, making the disc an ideal companion for church musicians, choral enthusiasts and collectors of English cathedral music.
The artist credit "Hyde, Daniel / Choir of King's College, Cambridge" brings together one of the world's most renowned collegiate choirs with its Director of Music. Daniel Hyde is known for his work as an organist and conductor in the British choral tradition, with a particular focus on liturgical repertoire and historically informed performance practice. The Choir of King's College, Cambridge is internationally recognised for its distinctive sound, acclaimed recordings and its central role in the global perception of Anglican choral music, especially through its long-established broadcast traditions and extensive discography. This CD continues that legacy by offering a carefully curated, seasonally focused collection that showcases the choir's clarity of diction, expressive phrasing and impeccably balanced choral blend.
The manufacturer and label, King's College, is closely associated with the famous chapel and choir of the University of Cambridge.
