Publisher's Synopsis
Malcom Hayes's setting of the medieval poem Corpus Christi is a mysterious and haunting lullaby on the death of Christ. The words connect with the legend of the Holy Grail, and also with the liturgical feasts of Good Friday and Corpus Christi itself (on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, usually in June). Malcolm Hayes's setting is suitable for both church and concert performance.
Faber New Choral Works introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of living composers and includes both lighter and more challenging contemporary works, offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
