About

The Living Fire is a celebration of choral music written for or associated with Jesus College, Cambridge. Featuring several premiere recordings of contemporary choral works by emerging composers, this album highlights the artistry within the College whilst honouring its rich musical legacy. At the same time, it looks forward: the impetus behind this project was to provide a platform for emerging artists from within the College community to showcase their work.

‘This project holds particular significance for several Choir members since, among the lyricists and composers, are former ensemble members. Their deep connection to the group has allowed for the creation of choral works uniquely suited to individual voices and our corporate strengths, making these world premieres all the more fitting. Many of the other contemporary works on this album are staples of Choral Evensong, beloved by the Choir and heard in Chapel services for many years.

‘This album is a celebration of the bright future of music at Jesus College, the Choir’s integral role in this special community, and its broader contribution to the development and enjoyment of choral music globally.’

– Benjamin Sheen

‘Choral music lies at the heart of the DNA of CRD. Our founding director, Graham Pauncefort, deeply loved choral music, championing, on a personal level, groups gathering in the local parish church and, in his professional capacity.’ – Emma Pauncefort, CRD Director
