  • Take him, earth, for cherishing… 👌🏻 A celebration of Herbert Howells for our first Sunday Choral Evensong of the year tomorrow at 6pm BST. Join us live in person @chapelofclarecollege or LiveStreamed as always on our @youtube channel. Howells’ organ voluntaries frame a service that includes two of his choral works with American roots: the rarely-performed Dallas Service, and his much-loved anthem ‘Take him, earth, for cherishing’ written for the memorial of J. F. Kennedy. The service also includes music by Undine Smith Moore and Kenneth Leighton, and is preceded by a 5.25pm recital of Bach and Franck by Clare’s Sir William McKie Senior Organ Scholar @j.costard24. Drinks and Dinner in @clarecollege Great Hall follow Evensong - all welcome. #Clare #Cambridge #ChoralEvensong #Howells #choir @choirofclarecollege @mrgrahamross 📸 @hedgehoghugh

  • We’re excited to share ‘Magnificat’, the third single from our forthcoming album, ‘Reaching Farther’. These settings of the canticles by our Director of Music @mrgrahamross here receive their premiere recording. “My Clare Service, written during an enjoyable week in the summer of 2024 for the Choir for a @bbcradio3 broadcast that year, explores the more tender side of Mary in the Magnificat, with a fragile melodic fragment in the opening organ accompaniment serving as the nucleus for much of the musical material of both canticles”. ‘Reaching Farther’ spans works by composers with direct connections to @clarecollege, from William Denis Browne’s canticles composed as a student in 1911, through to world premiere recordings of new commissions including @nicomuhly’s title anthem, @heloisewerner’s canticles, and a setting by current undergraduate @thomasalban307. 🎧 Listen now! ➡️ https://open.spotify.com/track/0O8yBOktBwiZyE1JY4s6Rv?si=iBlw4ZIbSF6_y0wRDVFLGw&utm_source=copy-link #clarecambridge #choral #classical #newsingle #Magnficat
