A celebration of women’s voices\, both as singers and composers\, the album received five stars from BBC Music Magazine\, who also named it one of their ’13 best classical albums of 2024’. \n\n\n\nImogen Holst’s characterful Keats setting Welcome Joy and Welcome Sorrow opens the programme\, before a set of beautiful works by living composers Judith Weir\, Olivia Sparkhall and Hilary Campbell\, all commissioned by Multitude of Voyces to mark International Women’s Day in 2019. \n\n\n\nThen comes Elizabeth Poston’s remarkable An English Day-Book\, a cycle of eleven short movements charting the course of a day in the English countryside\, packed with strikingly vivid depictions of bells\, clocks\, songbirds\, owls\, and a mischievous bumblebee. \n\n\n\nThe second half is where things get festive\, opening with a selection of a cappella Christmas pieces by Elizabeth Poston\, Howard Skempton and Peter Maxwell Davies\, as well as the medieval carol Ther is no rose of swych vertu. Harp and voices will also sound together in the magical Peace on Earth by current Master of the King’s Music Errollyn Wallen. \n\n\n\nFinally\, Corvus and Louise will perform Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols\, undoubtedly the most famous composition that exists for women’s voices and harp. \n\n\n\nMirroring Poston’s cycle at the end of the first half\, the Ceremony of Carols also consists of eleven movements\, in this case setting a series of medieval carol texts\, with perfectly judged musical moods shifting between the lyrical\, poignant\, and joyful. \n\n\n\nIt is one of the best-loved works in the English Christmas repertory\, and will bring the concert to a fabulous festive close. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Dazzling … under its founder-director Freddie Crowley\, Corvus Consort is always full of fresh thinking.”  \n\n\n\nBBC Music Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n“Clean\, clear voices\, impeccable intonation and a direct\, engaged way with the texts.”  \n\n\n\nLimelight Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n“An innovative and top-drawer ensemble.”  \n\n\n\nThe Arts Desk \n\n\n\n\n\n“The 12 superb sopranos and altos of the Corvus Consort sing the complex\, close-knit textures of these works with delicacy and pinpoint accuracy.
