Our Take

In the hallowed halls of Cambridge, where even the buildings have PhDs, the Chapel Choir of Selwyn College has emerged to grace us with their heavenly harmonies on "Sacred Ayres: Choral Music By Paul Ayres." Conducted by the illustrious Sarah MacDonald (no, not that one), this album is a sonic feast for the ears that will leave you feeling simultaneously enlightened and entertained.

From the opening track, "O Praise the Lord," to the mesmerizing "Ave Verum Corpus," each piece showcases the choir's exquisite blend of voices and impeccable phrasing. MacDonald's guidance leads the ensemble through Ayres' intricate compositions with poise and precision, creating a serene and ethereal atmosphere that transports listeners to a higher plane of musical ecstasy.

But don't be fooled by the traditional nature of the repertoire; this isn't your grandmother's Sunday service. Ayres injects modern twists into these sacred pieces, incorporating unexpected harmonies and rhythmic variations that keep the listener on their toes. It's like Bach meets Beyoncé, but with a British accent.

Overall, "Sacred Ayres" is a triumph of sacred choral music that will leave you feeling spiritually fulfilled and musically invigorated. So grab your tea, put on your best tweed jacket, and prepare to be serenaded by the angels of Selwyn College. This is one musical journey you won't want to miss.
