The Choir of Newcastle Cathedral

71:55 duration|Released 2024|Performed by: The Choir of Newcastle Cathedral

The latest addition to our ‘A Year at…’ series comes from Newcastle – England’s most northerly cathedral. This is the first recording of the re-vitalised Newcastle Cathedral Choir under their Director of Music, Ian Roberts, who was appointed in 2016, and has taken the choir to new heights.

Ben Ponniah (b. 1984) has gained a reputation in recent years for his jazz-infused harmonies and the beauty of his melodic lines. Litany to the Holy Spirit was commissioned for the boy choristers of St Thomas Fifth Avenue, New York in 2018.
