About the album

The Choir of Jesus College Cambridge return to disc on Signum with their seventh release, and their first under choral director Richard Pinel.

Hymns are a living link with the past, yet they still find freshness and relevance in the twenty- first century. Saint Thomas Aquinas comments that ‘hymns are the praise of God with song; a song is the exultation of the mind dwelling on eternal things, bursting forth in the voice’ and this explains neatly the vital place that hymnody has enjoyed throughout the ages, and continues to do so today.

Praise my soul celebrates this glorious tradition of hymnody and showcases some of the hymns heard in Jesus College Chapel in their own regular pattern of choral services. Some of these, including Drop, drop, slow tears and Glory to thee, my God, this night have been sung regularly for hundreds of years. Others such as All my hope on God is founded or Christ Triumphant have become classics over the last half-century.

Het Choir of Jesus College Cambridge presenteert zijn eerste album onder leiding van koordirigent Richard Pinel.

Hymnes zijn een levende verbinding met het verleden, maar zijn nog steeds verfrissend en relevant in de 21e eeuw. De 13e-eeuwse Italiaanse filosoof en theoloogThomas van Aquino merkte op: “hymen zijn het prijzen van God met gezangen; een gezang is de vreugde van de geest die uitweidt over eeuwige dingen, uitgeroepen door de stem”. Dit verklaart de belangrijke plaats die hymnodie door de eeuwen heen heeft ingenomen, en vandaag de dag nog steeds doet.

Praise my soul viert deze glorieuze traditie van hymnodie en presenteert enkele van de hymnes die ten gehore worden gebracht in Jesus College Chapel binnen het normale schema van koordiensten. Enkele van deze hymnes, waaronder Drop, drop, slow tears en Glory to thee, my God, worden al honderden jaren regelmatig gezongen. Anderen zoals All my hope on God is founded or Christ Triumphant zijn de afgelopen vijftig jaar klassiekers geworden.
