William Jewell College Choir
Very much a programme of two halves, the first working its way through several establised choral classics, instantly recognisable to Anglican cathedral choirs, while the second looked at more contemporary music in a bewildering array of styles. Under Arnold Epley's unpretentious direction, the choir thrived on crisp enunciation and good ensemble, equally comfortable in Stanford's Beati quorum via and Stroope's percussive Conversion of Saul.
There were moments when the balance was a bit top-heavy, but on the whole this was a very pleasing concert. My one regret is that we have to wait another three years before the choir's next visit to these shores.
