So grateful to @PeterhouseChoir for indulging me with this: I don't compose much, but I'll confess this one means quite bit to me. If you've a few minutes to spare, I'd really appreciate it if you could head over to youtube to give it a listen & share:

Really thrilled to see that @StMartinsVoices have included this carol by the much missed @JamesWhitbourn on their latest album from @resonusclassics, which I commissioned back in the dark days of Covid for @PeterhouseChoir: https://t.co/GTSnjXuPJi

Unused sheet from a contemporary Belgian partbook used an endpapers in a 1558 edition of Luther’s works.  Currently on display in the ‘Sing Joyfully’ exhibition at Lambeth Palace Library.

Really rather lovely new Rutter introit, marrying Herbert's 'The Call' with Gibbons 'Song 13'

Our new @naxosrecords album is a Recommended release from @MusicWebInt! FULL REVIEW HERE: https://t.co/Oc8GVRJy6V LISTEN HERE: https://t.co/nli5NXM2aL @Peterhouse_Cam

The proofs of my book on mysticism and vegetal life have arrived:

Really quite pleased with this write-up for our first disc:

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 from @MusicMagazine for our new album with @naxosrecords! Praised for its “warmly blended account”, & the way it “catches winningly the bounding enthusiasm” of this repertoire; @sjjackson32 “conducts sympathetically throughout” Buy/stream: https://t.co/AtSFs80xam

Does anyone have access to this Times article about In Our Time? I'd love to see it but it's behind a paywall - I gather our Herbert episode of In Our Time made it into their Top 15, which is lovely! #HumbleBragg @victoriamoul https://t.co/kRoIdvFSFl

In addition to our new album from @naxosrecords (which you can stream here: https://t.co/2V8crJqYLl), this month sees the publication of a new book about the Peterhouse Partbooks from @boydellbrewer, edited by Perne Librarian Scott Mandelbrote:

If anyone is interested in a 20% discount for my Herbert and Music book, I've just received this flyer with a discount code: https://t.co/ozb67Lvh5q

Inevitable, I suppose, but In Our Time won't be quite the same again: I feel so lucky to have snuck in at the eleventh hour for his final series

@PeterhouseChoir @LeverhulmeTrust @Peterhouse_Cam And, if you're interested in my thoughts about the experience of performing this weird and wonderful piece of 17thC ecological minimalism (yes - it absolutely has all of those things) you can read my short essay here (and do explore the rest of the site!) https://t.co/NioAVZJ6Da

In the middle of last term, some members of @PeterhouseChoir workshopped Charles Butler's bee madrigal Melissomelos as part of the @LeverhulmeTrust Bee-ing Human Project: you can watch the film that came out of the session here - https://t.co/EPCQFLswM8 @Peterhouse_Cam

@Peterhouse_Cam And, for some déjà vu (déjà entendu?) here’s the 18 year old Wilson taking his lead from Byrd, note for note, in Peterhouse Chapel the 1630s:

Today, 2 tracks: one very familiar, the second more unusual. Thomas Wilson, about 18 when he became organist at @Peterhouse_Cam , borrowed the opening of William #Byrd’s “Prevent us O Lord” and then takes off in his own fresh direction. Here’s Byrd:

Today’s track from our new album with @naxosrecords; Williams Smith’s Responses are sung regularly at Evensong, but have you ever heard his incredible festal setting of Psalm 85? Listen to the world premiere recording here: https://t.co/RV1pBDxyVF #NowPlaying @Peterhouse_Cam

Discerning friends have noted that I’ve been implicated in this week’s Private Eye. Wowza - I’ve nearly made it! 🤩

So proud of @PeterhouseChoir and all they've achieved, but especially today, when the choir's first ever album goes out on general release with @naxosrecords - a disc of remarkable music from @Peterhouse_Cam Chapel in the 1630s. Listen here:

Out now! We're thrilled to announce that our debut CD, Music from the @Peterhouse_Cam Partbooks, is released today on the @naxosrecords label. It's available to purchase and stream from all major platforms @Spotify @AppleMusic LISTEN NOW: https://t.co/5ZPTjuDRSL #NewonNaxos

Pleased to discover that my book on the relationship between Latin and English poetry in the literary culture of early modern England is now available in paperback (for nearly £100 less than the hardback!)
