Monteverdi

This wonderful piece of music is an instrumental version of Monteverdi’s setting of Psalm 127, one of the Songs of Ascent. Isn’t it beautiful to think that the season of Advent that we are just entering, is actually the season when we celebrate Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself and descended to Earth in human form? We are so grateful to the musicians who worked so hard to record this for us: Violins: Jonathan Lee, Shirley Richards, Rob Bilson, Amanda Bilson; Viola: Cathie Muncey, Christiane Max Cellos: Corinne Frost, Natalie Halliday, Rebecca Whettam; Woodwind: Julia Herzog (recorder); Mike Halliday (clarinet / sax); Trumpets: Anthony Thompson, Kevin Ashman. The players were directed by Andrew Whettam. The piece was recorded at Regents Bible College, Malvern, in 2018
