Abstract
The Sydney Chamber Choir, under Paul Stanhope’s direction, performs with precision and vitality on this disc of a cappella choral works composed by a former member – the New Zealand-born Clare Maclean. The major piece is her Osanna Mass (29:07) written specifically for the choir, and it is no surprise that it won her the Australian Art Music Award for vocal music /choral in 2012. Also included are four older compositions commissioned by other choirs which are uniformly excellent: In the Year that King Uzziah Died (5:59), Os anthos chortou (3:23), Vive in Deo (7:01) and We Welcome Summer (4:37). Recorded in the chapel at St. Scholastica's convent, Glebe, Sydney by Ian Stevenson in June 2008 and June 2010.
