Digital Booklet

|||||
"Five Stars. Elin Manahan Thomas is impressive with her poise and limpidity ... The Cambridge Singers, outstandingly fresh and communicative throughout under John Rutter's expert, energizing direction, excel particularly in a superbly buoyant, incisive performance ... this is a virtually unimproveable collection."
- BBC Music Magazine
This is the Day recollects and celebrates some of the choral music heard on royal occasions during the lifetime of Queen Elizabeth II. The title work is British composer John Rutter’s celebratory royal wedding anthem This is the Day, written for the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011 and newly orchestrated especially for this recording. The album also includes a new arrangement for unaccompanied choir of the Londonderry Air, to the text I Would be True, as well as Rutter's own orchestration of Schubert's beautiful Psalm 23. Rutter himself conducts the Cambridge Singers and the Aurora Orchestra on these performances.
