Following the recording in June 2009, we have just released the new CD of Prior Park College’s Chapel Choir entitled “Laudate”.  The CD was recorded over 3 nights with quite a grueling schedule of between 3 and 4 hours each night with only short breaks.  Given this, the chapel choir performed remarkably and the end result is something for everyone to be proud of.

Proir Park College is a co-educational Catholic day and boarding school occupying a magnificent Georgian mansion in Bath.  The choir has an outstanding reputation for excellence and has performed in a number of English cathedrals as well as throughout Europe.

Copies of the CD are available from Roland Robertson, Music Department, Prior Park College, Ralph Allen Drive, Bath, BA2 5AH or telephone 01225 835353.

Our final recording session at Prior Park last night went extremely well and was very productive. Highlights of the session included Weelkes Hosannah to the Son of David, Eric Whitacre’s Lux Aeternae and Tallis’s Salvator Mundi.

The session over ran slightly as we had a few recordings of people dropping pencils and banging doors which weren’t on the schedule but it has to be said, Dave and Andrew Sackett who were producing the recording for Prior Park did a great job of keeping the session under control and on time.  The next stage is to go through all the 12 hours worth of raw recorded data and start work on the edits which we hope to do in the next few days.
