Hamba Lulu

Recorded - 2007

Cantate's latest CD is now available. It contains high quality live recordings of Cantate Senior Choir, Youth Choir and Chamber Choir in competitions and concert performances during 2007.

First there is Gregson's Gloria, and I Once Loved a Lass recorded during the 2007 Llangollen International Eisteddfod, in which we came second in the youth choir category. The remainder of the pieces were recorded during Cantate's July 2007 Thaxted Festival appearance: Bob Chilcott's Missa Cantate, excerpts from Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man, Chasm by Graham Instrall, and finally the title track, Hamba Lulu.

The CD is a marvellous memento of a great year for Cantate.

"The performances are highly accomplished... the excellent Cambridge Singers... Michael Kibblewhite's Cantate Youth Choir sing with a bright and open tone that brings the music vividly to life and makes a refreshing change from the more commonly heard cathedral type of singing."
