Print Friendly Page 
Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge, consists of sixteen Choristers and four Probationers who are educated at St. John's College School under the direction of Mr Andrew Nethsingha. The Alto, Tenor and Bass parts are taken by young men who are usually undergraduate members of the College and who are selected to their places in the College Choir (and therefore to the University) as Choral Students. There are two Organ Students who assist Mr Nethsingha in the running of the Choir, attending the daily rehearsals for the Chorister at the School, and accompanying the services in Chapel.

The services follow the Cathedral tradition of the Church of England, Evensong being sung during Term six days a week and Sung Eucharist in addition on Sunday mornings. It has fulfilled this role in the life of the College since the 1670s.

The Choir has an extraordinary discography dating back to the 1950s and the Decca/Argo years under George Guest. More recently, the Choir has become well known for the sequence of recordings of English 20th century choral music made by Naxos. Directed by Christopher Robinson, these have sold over 200,000 copies. The Choir now records with Hyperion, and has released four discs to date with the label.

Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge - Hear My Words: Choral Classics from St. John's
Hear My Words: Choral Classics from St. John's (Chandos CHSA 5085, CD) November 2010
Featuring Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge  
"The music itself represents a time span of nearly 500 years of choral music. The earliest piece dates from the first half of the sixteenth century, and the newest was composed as recently as 2007. The styles and genres are varied, but there are clear links between the works throughout. For example, several are based on texts from the psalms, and the works by Pärt, Parsons, and Rachmaninoff offer three radically different interpretations of the Ave Maria. Some of the works also add a solo instrument to the familiar mix of voices and organ. But perhaps most importantly, all the pieces recorded here sit comfortably under the heading of ‘Popular Choral Classics’. Allegri’s Miserere is counted among the great classics of church music. Part of its mystique stems from its origins; for many years the work was performed only in the Sistine Chapel, and as with other works tied to a single place it became an object for pilgrimage. In this case the pilgrims included Mendelssohn, as well as Mozart who famously noted down the work from memory after leaving the Vatican, thereby risking excommunication by the Catholic Church. This new release also features Stanford’s Jubilate, which was written for Trinity College, Cambridge. Intended as part of the service of Morning Prayer, it has long been one of the most popular canticles in the Anglican repertoire. In keeping with the text, Psalm 100, the tone is festive throughout." [Martin Ennis]

Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge - St John's Magnificat
St John's Magnificat (Chandos GBLWD10021NN, CD) March 2010
Featuring Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge  
This recording heralds the beginning of an exclusive recording contract between Chandos and the Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge. All performances will be conducted by Andrew Nethsingha, the Choir’s Director of Music since 2007. The disc of choral music by Herbert Howells includes two settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis: one setting was written for St John’s, where Howells was Acting Organist during World War II; the other for Gloucester Cathedral in the composer’s native county. It also features two premiere recordings, A Grace for 10 Downing Street and Psalm 142. Andrew Nethsingha said, “We are delighted to be embarking on a partnership with such an excellent label as Chandos. With them, we will release a wide variety of repertoire. We have chosen to start with a disc of Howells’ music – Herbert Howells was closely associated with St John’s College for several decades. Two major works written for the St John’s Choir, including “Sequence for St Michael” will feature on the CD. The recording of “By the waters of Babylon”, a deeply moving psalm setting for baritone, violin, cello and organ will be another highlight of the disc.” This is St John’s College Choir’s first long-term contract with Chandos. However, it has already made a number of recordings for the label, including Mozart’s Requiem and works by Charpentier and Poulenc (conducted by George Guest) and music by Tallis and Gibbons (conducted by Christopher Robinson).

Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge - Bairstow - Choral Music
Bairstow - Choral Music (Hyperion CDA67497, CD) July 2007
Featuring Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge  
The music of Edward Bairstow (1874–1946) is an essential part of the British cathedral music tradition. He set his texts ‘with a beauty which makes one never able to think of the words without recalling the music’, as the Dean of York wrote on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. Certainly the more well-known works on this disc eminently fulfill this criterion. St John’s’ inspired recordings of these classic numbers in the matchless acoustic of the chapel make this a disc to treasure on these grounds alone.

Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge - Christmas at St John's
Christmas at St John's (Hyperion CDA67576, CD) November 2006
Featuring Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge   Quintin Beer   Alexander Robarts  
Taking as its starting point the famous Advent Carol Service, Christmas at St John's is an imaginative and varied programme devised by Dr David Hill. Going far beyond the tired repertoire of carols churned out by certain other Cambridge choirs, this CD is sung exceptionally well by the choir from 2005-2006, with a particularly outstanding treble section. The highlights are many, but particularly the two tracks which feature substantial solos from Head Chorister Quintin Beer: Dr John Rutter's "There is a flower" and Francis Pott's "Lullay my liking". Alexander Robarts sings the treble solo in Dr EW Naylor's "Vox dicentis".

Meditation (Priory SJCR-103-2, CD) December 2004
Featuring Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge   Theo Bamber  
When playing this disc one is immediately struck by the great beauty of the singing, no doubt due in part to the combination of the more intimate size of a college chapel (which requires less projection of sound than a cathedral) and the freshness of the undergraduate voices in the lower parts. The eclectic choice of pieces from five centuries makes for a surprisingly effective disc and even the well known Allegri setting of Psalm 51 and the Byrd and Tallis items are given such expressive performances that lovers of choral music need not hesitate to duplicate this music in their collection. This own label disc is available for £11 including (UK) postage from The Johnian Office, St John's College, Cambridge CB2 1TP.
