About
These compositions span over two thousand years, from a sixth-century chant to the miraculous works of Parsons and Mouton to the remarkable compositions from today by Pärt, Britten and Tavener. Among the pieces we find the Seven Antiphons by Arvo Pärt, disarmingly impassioned, otherworldly; the extraordinary Hymn to the Mother of God by John Tavener, and Benjamin Britten’s transformative Hymn to the Virgin. In close kinship with these profound offerings, the restrained ecstasy of Nesciens Mater by Jean Mouton, the Ave Maria of Robert Parsons and the moving Jesus Christ the Apple Tree by Elizabeth Poston, bring forth a sense of serene wonder.
Recorded in London with esteemed producer Nicholas Parker and bathed in the acoustics of Saint Augustine, The Tree of Life features the Trinity Choir including choristers from across Canada and members of the Tallis Scholars, the Gabrieli Consort and the Monteverdi Choir. These are magnificent interpretations that Daniel Taylor directs with passion and dedication.
The pure voices of the Trinity Choir include the best of today’s soloists from England’s choral and vocal stars: Jeremy Budd, tenor; Ellen McAteer, soprano; David Clegg, alto; Nicholas Pritchard, tenor; Alexander Dobson, bass; Charles Daniels, tenor. The album was recorded in London, England with esteemed producer Nick Parker and engineer Andrew Mellor.
