The release day for Revelation, my eighth album, has finally arrived. Woo hoo!
A huge thanks to all who made this possible including The Elora Singers, Naxos Records, Walton Music and Music Productions!
Revelation, released on 10th Feb and features twenty-two brand new choral works including two choral collections.
The first of the new collections, Revelation, is a collection of nine pieces based on text from the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, written by St John on the island of Patmos.
The second work, Beatitudes, is a collection setting the eight Beatitudes of Christ from the Gospel of St Matthew and captures the essence of Christ’s message that those people normally thought of as being unfortunate are, in fact, blessed.
Five other standalone works complete the album including The Word which sets the beautiful poetry of the Johanine Prologue, The Lord’s Prayer from Patrick’s mass setting The Edenham Eucharist, and a new recording of Patrick’s 2004 piece Quanta Qualia, in the arrangement he wrote for Voces8’s album Eventide.
