‘Sing a Merry Madrigal’
George Shearing: Songs and Sonnets Adam’s Apple: Hymns for jazz trio and some Bard related quartet pieces with trumpet John Rutter: Birthday Madrigals
In their deliciously attractive and varied programme, Cantamus Chamber Choir collaborate with Adam’s Apple in two masterfully arranged collections of Shakespeare sonnets and madrigals with a subtly cultured jazz twist. Shearing’s inimitable style shines through in Songs and Sonnets with a rollicking Hey, ho the wind and the rain, and it was for his 75th birthday that Rutter composed the Birthday Madrigals including a gorgeous Draw on, Sweet Night. Adam’s Apple take traditional hymns and transform them into modern Jazz pieces...‘Like to the lark...sings hymns at heaven's gate’. An English feast to rekindle the memory of spring!
