Elizabeth Maconchy

Artist(s):
BBC Singers

Background: During her long composing life, Elizabeth Maconchy created a substantial body of choral works. She wrote for both professional and amateur choirs and there were many commissions as well as occasional pieces. The compositions for voices (covering the whole period of her creative life) specially chosen for this CD are a selection from a wonderful legacy. In particular they highlight Maconchy's instinct for matching the imagery of a poem, whether by William Blake, Sean O'Casey or her exact contemporary Louis MacNeice.

The BBC singers constitute the UK's only full-time professional chamber choir. The versatility of this virtuoso 24 voice ensemble makes it a major force in British musical life.
