Conductor Joe Miller and producer Malcolm Bruno discuss the repertoire and concept behind Westminster Choir’s new recording.In his Mass for Double Choir, Frank Martin's use of a motet in the style of J.S. Bach juxtaposed with his sonic and exotic harmonic palette of the early 20th century is a formula for exciting music.This is the first recording of Anders Öhrwall’s arrangement of the beloved Swedish folk tune Fäbodpsalm från Dalarna, and it’s distinguished by performances by David Kim, Concertmaster for The Philadelphia Orchestra, and soprano Sherezade Panthaki, an acknowledged star in the early music field.It also contains much-anticipated release of Lux Surgit Aurea (See the golden sun arise), which was composed by Bernat Vivancos for the Westminster Choir to perform at the 2017 World Symposium on Choral Music in Barcelona.

Other works include Little Lamb by Joel Phillips and works by Edward Bairstow, Nilo Alcala, Tim Brent and Randall Thompson.
