Description:
Whereas Benjamin Britten’s version of this medieval English carol from Ceremony of Carols stands out as definitive and time-tested, this new setting is gorgeous and equally refined.
It requires more female voices than men for the SSA word painting on “God in persons three” and divisi on “Gaudeamus.”
The augmentation on the final repetition of “transeamus” brings this ravishing piece to a subtle and beautiful ending.
Exquisite.
