Gaudeamus omnes: Celebrating Warwick 1100
The Choirs of St. Mary’s Collegiate Church celebrate 1100 years of Warwick. Instead of trying to provide a retrospective, the repertoire chosen highlights the music of the recent past, including two premiere recordings of works by Briggs and Moore. Additionally, each of the works selected holds certain significance, whether as dedication works for prominent monarchs or churches, or as commemorative works for the centenary of the First World War.
