Description

Originally composed for female voices, strings and percussion, Karl Jenkins' legendary Songs of Sanctuary is now available for SATB. On release in 1994 the recording became an instant classic and remains so to this day. Jenkins states that "I conceived Songs of Sanctuary in the European classical tradition, but it was my intention that the vocal sound should be more akin to that heard in world music. The ‘words’ are invented; in this respect the work is a vocalise, albeit one in which the vowels and consonants are specified." Another striking feature of the vocal sound is to sing forte with no vibrato. Mixed voice choirs will seize upon the opportunity to perform such an iconic work in this new version. Released to mark the composer's 80th birthday.
