Choral music has been central to CRD Records since its birth. As we celebrate 50 years, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering young talent. This album from The Choir of Jesus College Cambridge, under Benjamin Sheen’s direction, showcases the extraordinary growth that comes from dedicated study, rehearsals, and performance.Featuring works by choir and college alumni—including the haunting world premiere of The Living Fire, an anthem composed by ClassicFM’s 2025 Rising Star Mary Offer with lyrics by Ella Curry—this release highlights the power of choral music to inspire, comfort, and ignite passion. As it celebrates works connected with the College and resonating with its convent roots, it stands as both a celebration of tradition and a testament to the future of the art form.
