James MacMillan, CBE - pre-eminent Scottish composer of his generation, whose works are programmed worldwide by orchestras including London Symphony Orchestra, New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics and Cleveland Orchestra

The Elysian Singers of London celebrate the enormous and varied contribution of Sir James MacMillan

(b. 1959) to the choral repertoire over the last 20 years. Beginning with MacMillan’s blazing 2016

‘choral fanfare’ Blow the trumpet in the new moon, the programme explores the spiritual and secular

texts that have influenced MacMillan, also including his monumental setting of Psalm 51 Miserere.

The Elysian Singers of London is one of the UK’s leading chamber choirs.

Known for its adventurous programming, the choir performs in and around

London and has recorded many widely acclaimed CDs. This is the choir’s

second recording of works by James MacMillan, following their criticallyacclaimed

first disc with Signum Cantos Sagrados (SIGCD507).
