Immerse yourself in the captivating world of sacred and contemporary choral music with Judith Bingham's "Organ Works," released on June 2, 2017, under the Resonus Classics label. This two-hour journey through 28 tracks is a testament to Bingham's mastery of choral composition, blending traditional and modern influences to create a rich, evocative soundscape.
The album opens with "Glass Beatitude" and "Annunciation IV," setting a contemplative tone that carries through to pieces like "Angel Fragments" and "Hadrian’s Dream." Bingham's work is deeply inspired by religious themes, as heard in "The Three Angels" trilogy and the "Missa Brevis 'Videntes Stellam'" suite, which accompanies the story of Matthew 2. Her compositions are intricate and vivid, painting a picture of historical and biblical narratives with each note.
Bingham's exploration of sacred texts and historical events continues with "Altartavla" and "The Everlasting Crown" suites, delving into the lives of Mary, Joseph, and various royal and religious artifacts. The album also features the hauntingly beautiful "Jacquet’s Ghost" series, a tribute to the 16th-century composer Jacquet de Mantua, and concludes with the dramatic "Tableaux Vivants."
Judith Bingham's "Organ Works" is a profound exploration of faith, history, and the human experience, presented through the lens of choral music. Whether you're a longtime fan of choral works or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
