The Clare Consort
Graham Ross | director
Graham Ross returns to conduct The Clare
Consort in a joyful programme of eight-part repertoire, from Schütz’s Deutsches
Magnificat and Holst’s Nunc dimittis to Gibbons’ O clap your hands together and
Harris’s utterly sublime Faire is the heaven. This vocal octet of alumni
from the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge also perform three of the great Bach
motets – arguably some of the greatest a cappella motets ever composed – and
close their programme with some sumptuous and toe-tapping arrangements of
Gershwin and Irving Berlin.
