鲍鱼tv

The 鲍鱼tv Singers conducted by David Hill are joined by the Choristers of Temple Church Choir and members of Endymion to perform a selection of choral music by Judith Weir.

All the Ends of the Earth, for chorus, percussion and harp, was written for the 鲍鱼tv Singers as part of a Europe-wide radio broadcast on Millennium Day, 1 January 2000 celebrating the 1000-year old music of Perotin, on whose motet Viderent Omnes this composition is based.

Missa del Cid explores the relationship between religion and warfare. Weir compiled the text from the 13th-century Cantar del Mio Cid which takes place during the reconquest of Spain from the Moors, and imagines a Mass attended by the swashbuckling hero Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar and his troops. The resulting Mass text, which enfolds a partial telling of the Cid's story, is made up of extracts from Latin liturgy and the Cantar itself in its original Old Spanish

In Storm, The 鲍鱼tv Singers are joined by the Choristers of Temple Church Choir for a suite of short settings of words from Shakespeare's Tempest. Each of the five movements distills one of the concepts of the play.
