Choir Of Kings College London - Kerensa Briggs Requiem

Now in her early thirties, Kerensa Briggs couldhardly have enjoyed a more salubriouschildhood for a composer of sacred choralmusic, surrounded by music in GloucesterCathedral close, singing in choirs and hearingthe daily choral services. Briggs went on tostudy music and sing as a choral scholar atKing�s College London, and her music and herunderstanding of the way the voice workshave their roots in this deep immersion.This recording is the first dedicated to hermusic, in a portrait programme of premieres.Joseph Fort and The Choir of King�s CollegeLondon continue to attract widespread criticalacclaim, both for the ambition of theirrecorded programmes and for their polishedand mature execution.
