The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge dedicates this release to secular choral music by Gerald Finzi. This, the debut release for Trinity's newly appointed director of music Steven Grahl, presents three of Finzi's larger choral works in first recordings of these arrangements. Written during the 1930s and '40s, this music dwells on the transience of mortal life and human happiness through Finzi's unique compositional voice: a mix of outwardly festive works ('For St Cecilia') and darker, more introspective music ('Requiem da camera').
