Voci Nobili's second CD features British composers Benjamin Britten's Ceremony of Carols and John Rutter's Dancing Day. A Ceremony of Carols was inspired by 'The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems', and is written for treble voices and harp. The 'carols' are a product of 15th and 16th century writers, most of whom are anonymous. They retain their unique flavour by Britten's extensive use of old English language in the style of Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales.' The piece in its entirety shows Britten's mastery of choral music, with each movement in contrast with the next. In Dancing Day, John Rutter employs the words and melodies of six traditional carols and resourcefully exploits their various rhythmic qualities in this cycle of for SSA voices with harp or piano accompaniment.
