"You will certainly get your money's worth with this recording ... there is plenty to admire here ..."
- The Guardian
Mark Williams leads the Choir of the Jesus College Cambridge through an evocative selection of choral works inspired in varying ways by the songs of Solomon. Songs of love have been written from the earliest records of human existence, none more passionately ecstatic than the Song of Solomon, which occupies a unique place in the Bible in both style and content. It contains lyric poems of love and courtship as might have been sung at Jewish weddings. For Christians, these poems speak to the beauty of the union of Christ and his ‘bride,’ the Church. This collection presents a diverse group of choral works written between the 16th century and the present day, with most inspired by this unique sacred text.
