Praise Him with Trumpets - Global Release Date - 30 January 2025!

Devised by the Bristol Choral Society’s director Hilary Campbell, the choir’s second album with Delphian is a celebration of British choral music ranging from Holst and Vaughan Williams, by way of Britten’s much-loved Rejoice in the Lamb, to some of today’s most vibrant voices.

At its heart are three premiere recordings: of Dame Judith Weir’s PraiseHim with Trumpets, Grace-Evangeline Mason’s A Memory of the Oceanfor choir, piano and cello, a Royal Philharmonic Society commission whose first performance the choir gave in 2023, and an exciting recent rediscovery – Elizabeth Poston’s Festal Te Deum.

To complement the larger choral pieces, soprano Charlotte Mobbs and pianist Steven Kings bring to life vivid Shakespeare settings by Vaughan Williams, Elizabeth Maconchy and Cecilia McDowall.

To celebrate the release of the CD on 30th January 2025 we will be holding a launch event on Friday 31st January, 6.30pm All Saints Church Clifton.
