Following from Ash Wednesday, this album is the second live Evensong album from the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge and marks the next great season of the Church's Year, Eastertide. This celebration of Jesus's resurrection also initially spans forty days, taking us up to Ascension Day, and culminates on the fiftieth day with the Feast of Pentecost. Where the previous album reflected the tradition of using no organ from Ash Wednesday until the Gloria of the Easter Vigil, the instrument is fully utilized here by the Chapel's organ scholars Glen Dempsey and James Anderson Besant. The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge is one of the finest collegiate choirs in the world, known and loved by millions from it's broadcasts, concert tours and recordings. Founded in the 1670s, the Choir is known for it's distinctive rich, warm sound, it's expressive interpretations and it's breadth of repertoire. Alongside these musical characteristics, the Choir is particularly proud of it's happy, relaxed and mutually supportive atmosphere.
