Track List

Sarah MacDonald is arguably one of the UK’s most dynamic enablers of young singers and organists. She is also established as one of the foremost exponents of contemporary sacred choral music, particularly new works by living female composers.

We are delighted to release this first recording devoted to her own compositions, sung by her own Chapel Choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, and recorded in the radiant acoustic of Ely Cathedral, where she is Director of the Girl Choristers. MacDonald’s works are firmly routed in the rich Anglican choral tradition demonstrating expert and highly-effective writing for voices and skilled use of texture, rhythm, and colour.

Reviews

‘…what matters here is the music, and it is a delight. Her own chapel choir of Selwyn College sings with a polish that belies the demands of undergraduate life, recorded in the radiant, spacious acoustic of Ely Cathedral, where MacDonald is also the director of the girl choristers. The ensemble’s diction, intonation, and balance are all delectably precise, and the phrasing, dynamic shading, and rhythmic vitality throughout the performance are genuinely impressive….

It would be easy for a single-composer disc to feel monochrome, but the sheer diversity of this curated programme — a cappella writing set against organ-accompanied grandeur and intimate motets against festive energy — keeps the ear consistently engaged. The result is a disc that not only showcases a genuinely important composer but also does so with real warmth and imagination.’ Yorkshire Times 2026 July 2026
