The Sacred Flame - Cambridge Singers   

I'll be honest, my mental image of the Cambridge Singers is of rather heavy handed singing, suitable for John Rutter's jolly carols, but not exactly competition for the Sixteen. However in this collection of Renaissance and Baroque they have proved they can do subtlety too. The Monteverdi pieces bounce along with just enough lightness. There's a wonderful range of the best music here. Gesualdo's O vos omnes, for example, is full of 'he can't do that!' moments - it's electrifying. Buxtehude's chunky and jubilant Magnificat adds a little light relief among the exquisite likes of Victoria and Josquin Desprez... and it runs through neatly through Schütz to the (relatively) trendy 'new' music of Mr Bach.

All in all a great collection.

Looking for help with music for your wedding? Check out our detailed Weddings page. You’ll find help on other services in our Services section - use the menu above.

If you are singing or playing church music we have a books and sheet music section, with everything from free downloadable sheet music to online shopping for hymn books and anthems. There's also a small section of books about church music, plus a collection of second-hand music for those hard-to-come-by pieces.

In our CD section we have church music CDs by composer and choir and also CDs of music for special occasions, such as weddings.
