The second album from the Choir of St John’s with their new music director – Christopher Gray.

Other items include the beautiful carol John Rutter wrote for the Choir in 1985, There is a flower, and the haunting Peace on earth by Master of the King’s Music, Errollyn Wallen.

“My aim with this album has not been to break new ground with repertoire, but to ensure that classics remain fresh for the current generation” – Christopher Gray
