Andrew Nethsingha and The Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge release Magnificat 2

Apr 2021
Director of Music, Mr Andrew Nethsingha, and The Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge, release Magnificat 2, the second volume in their highly-praised Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis series. The album, which was released on Signum Records on 16 April, features nine settings of the Evening Canticles.  This album continues to explore the breadth of imagination with which composers have approached the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis texts, having been utilised in Christian worship for over 1,000 years. This repertoire is the lifeblood of the Choir, who sing settings of these texts on a daily basis. The album features a world premiere recording of Julian Anderson's Evening Canticles and a booklet introduction by former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams.
