A Mother's Love: Music for Mary

by Various Artists

Britain s best-selling choir of the 21st Century, The Sixteen,
releases a new album of music inspired by the Virgin Mary.
Harry Christophers, the most prolific choral conductor of
modern times, directs the choir performing a disc of Marian
songs ranging from medieval composers like Palestrina, and
Lassus through Bruckner and Liszt, all the way to modern
times, including a world premiere work by Margaret Rizza,
Ave Generosa.
A Mother s Love: Music for Mary is The Sixteen s third
album with Universal Classics and Jazz. The first two,
Renaissance and Ikon, have already made them the bestselling
choral artists in the UK as well as winning them a
Classical Brit Award.
Harry Christophers has been selected to front a new BBC4
show exploring the History of Sacred Music, rightly using his
credentials as the authority in this field. The series, to be
aired in spring 2008, will see Christophers as the new
Howard Goodall.
Business propositions aside, the very highest standards of
singing remain the number one priority for Christophers and
The Sixteen. The choir s repertoire never deviates from the
core classical cannon. And so Christophers is delighted that,
through the choir s renewed profile and enlarged fanbase,
they can prove to the world with this recording that There s
still Something About Mary...
