Description:
The British composer Grayston (Bill) Ives (*1948) has dedicated himself to choral music in many different ways. He was a tenor with the legendary King's Singers and later worked for 18 years as an organist, choirmaster and lecturer at the renowned Magdalen College in Oxford. Ives composed this "Requiem" for its 550th anniversary, which is suitable for both liturgical and concert performances. Ives' tonal language is tonal, straightforward and yet varied and occasionally surprising, e.g. in the use of Tibetan hand cymbals. "As a former King's Singer, 'Bill' Ives, steeped in the Anglican choral tradition, writes magnificently .... His word-painting skills draw out every dramatic impulse", stated the British music magazine Gramophone in 2021 on the occasion of the first recording of this Requiem setting.
