The Selwyn Service

The Selwyn Service Synopsis

for SATB (with divisions) and optional organ Alan Bullard's first Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, written for the choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, can be performed a cappella or with organ. Both movements feature pleasing tonal contrasts and have a distinctly folk-like feel. In this lyrical and expressive setting, the voices are often offset against each other in pairs, focussing the listener's attention on the text and highlighting by contrast the rich, powerful passages for full choir. The Selwyn Service is included on the CD Wondrous Cross by Selwyn College, Cambridge (Regent Records REGCD404).
