Do you know yet what is going to be sung? It might be interesting, for instance, to try some of James Macmillan's own choral works!

All music by Macmillan:

O Radiant Dawn
The Lamb has come for us from the house of David
In splendoribus sanctorum
The canticle of Zachariah
The gallant weaver
Chosen
So Deep

[musicus]

Very nice! Worth attending for The Gallant Weaver alone.
