Agnus Dei - Music of Inner Harmony

CD Details

Agnus Dei: Music of Inner Harmony is a 2015 classical choral album conducted by Edward Higginbottom and performed by The Choir of New College Oxford. This collection spans four centuries of sacred choral music, featuring masterworks such as Allegri’s Miserere, Bach’s Jesu, joy of man’s desiring, and Barber’s Agnus Dei, which sets the composer’s beloved Adagio for Strings to choral text. The program also includes Mozart’s Ave verum corpus, Elgar’s Lux aeterna, and the Kyrie from Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli, along with a new choral arrangement of the Nimrod movement from Elgar’s Enigma Variations. The New College Oxford Choir, an ensemble of 16 boys and 12 adults, brings centuries of choral tradition to these intelligent and finely polished performances.
