David Bednall’s new CD, Welcome All Wonders – A Christmas Cantata, is released on 29th July 2013 on Signum Records. The 78-minute work has been recorded by Owen Rees and The Choir of the Queen’s College, Oxford, who commissioned the piece. The 15 movements set beautiful texts in Latin and English, including poetry by Milton, Pope, and Longfellow. Highlights include the thrilling ‘Tribus miraculis ornatum’, the beautiful ‘But peaceful was the night’, and the triumphant final movement, setting words from St John’s Gospel alongside the joyous ‘Hodie’. The work will be published by Faber Music later this year.
