{"product_id":"2571127","title":"Christopher Tyler Nickel - Mass Te Deum [CD]","description":"Award-winning Canadian composer Christopher Tyler Nickel adds to his impressive catalogue of large-scale liturgical works with a double-bill featuring his Mass and Te Deum, composed concurrently and completed in 2022. As with previous works - including Requiem, and the seven-hour long oratorio The Gospel According to Mark - Chris' spirituality infuses his music with melancholy and meditative qualities. Haunting intimacy, a predilection for chant-like melodies and allusions to Medieval music, and plangent orchestral colours, give these two new sacred works a feeling of timelessness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListeners will recognise Chris' penchant for unusual combinations of instruments - a quartet from the oboe family in both works, with the lesser heard oboe d'amore and bass oboe alongside oboe and cor anglais; and a pair of Wagner tubas in the Mass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris once again collaborates with soprano Catherine Redding, the Vancouver Chamber Choir and Vancouver Contemporary Orchestra under the baton of Clyde Mitchell - who on previous releases of Chris' music have delivered \"emotionally stirring performances\" (The WholeNote).","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218812195201,"sku":"2571127","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/81BYY3XaSoL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1744399891","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2571127","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
