New Cathedral Choir CD - In dulci Jubilo
The perfect soundtrack for Christmas has just been released in time for the festive season by Lichfield Cathedral Choir.
In Dulci Jubilo is priced at £14 and is a collection of festive favourites old and new, many of which are given a uniquely Lichfield twist.
Cathedral director of music, Ben Lamb said: “From the opening track Once in royal David’s City we move away from the established pattern of a solo treble, as this opens up into a duet, then a trio, then four part lower voices for the second verse.
At the centre of the disc is our setting of In Dulci Jubilo, which combines with the poem in the inlay to put this classic carol within the context of the Cathedral’s theme Peace at this, the centenary of the armistice that brought the First World War to its close.”
The CD is available online at https://www.lichfield-cathedral.org/worship--music/christmas-cd-in-dulci-jubilo and in the Cathedral Shop, 11 Bakers Lane, Lichfield, (01543 306150) and it will be available in the Cathedral at major events over the Christmas season
All the proceeds will support the Choir Projects Fund.
