Gloriæ Dei Cantores celebrates the exuberance and touching humanity of this great Welsh composer.

This recording of Mathias's sacred choral music includes several recorded premieres as well as his last sacred choral work, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. Also featured are the Missa Brevis, Rex Gloriæ (four a cappella motets), The Lord is My Shepherd (Psalm 23) sung in Welsh by the men's choir, and Veni Sancte Spiritus (commissioned for the Three Choirs Festival in 1985), among other works. This release from Gloriæ Dei Cantores was recorded in Methuen Memorial Music Hall (Methuen, Massachusetts) with its grand acoustic and superb organ. It was award a Rosette by the Penguin Guide to Compact Discs.

Gloriae Dei Cantores

GLORIÆ DEI CANTORES (Singers to the Glory of God) holds a passionate dedication to the faithful representation of spiritual and musical authenticity in the choral arts. Sharing its vision of inspiration and hope, the choir has touched the hearts of audiences in twenty-four countries in Europe and Asia, as well as extensive tours and concert series in the United States. The choir’s catalogue of more than fifty recordings showcases an expansive repertoire, encompassing both masterworks and rarely performed musical treasures from Gregorian chant to the twenty-first century. The choir makes its home at the Church of the Transfiguration in Orleans, Massachusetts, USA, where it sings worship services throughout the year.

Gloriae Dei Cantores, an internationally acclaimed choir of over forty voices, ranging in age from 17-70, and directed by Elizabeth C. Patterson, is dedicated to preserving and authentically interpreting great choral music from the eleventh to the twenty-first centuries William Mathias was a composer of prodigious energy and discipline, traits which may account for his renowned ability to meet deadlines. Mathias, who was something of a compulsive composer, devoted himself generously to music education and performance, as conductor and pianist, in concerts and recordings
