The Choir of King's College London | Joseph Fort | Michael Butterfield

Description:

The prestigious King's College Choir of London welcomed Joseph Fort, a renowned scholar of 18th century music and dance, as music director in September 2015, succeeding David Trendell, who passed away suddenly in October 2014. This Advent (Christmas) album cleverly combines old and new polyphony, from Bingen, Palestrina, and Byrd to contemporary composers with ties to King's College London. Tokyo M-Plus
