The award-winning London vocal ensemble SANSARA, with Artistic Directors Tom Herring and Benjamin Cunningham, makes its Resonus Classics debut with a striking programme of works for Advent and Christmas both old and new. This compelling programme explores the anticipation of Christmas through works by masters of the Renaissance alongside pieces by living composers combining to conjure an aura of mystery and excitement. SANSARA is an award-winning vocal ensemble focused on the performance of a cappella choral music. As a collective body of voices, a choir is a living, breathing instrument with unparalleled expressive potential. SANSARA realises this through direct and honest music-making, always striving to conjure compelling atmospheres, communicating with clarity and integrity. SANSARA works as a chamber ensemble without a single director or conductor. The result is a highly engaged and versatile group of professional musicians, working together with a unified voice to express a shared artistic vision.

Inner peace and how to find it have occupied the world’s great religions and schools of philosophy for millennia. Traces, a revelatory sequence of unaccompanied choral works past and present, creates a solemn space in which to contemplate and perhaps find solutions to the problem. SANSARA’s choice of repertoire, the care with which it has been assembled, and the miraculous beauty of the British vocal ensemble’s artistry hold the power to ease troubled minds. Their album’s first half, hallmarked by settings of reflective German texts, prepares the ground for Natalia Tsupryk’s A Quiet Night, bearer of hope, bringer of peace, the Ukrainian composer’s transcendent response to Russia’s invasion of her homeland; and Cecilia McDowall’s Standing as I Do Before God, a sublime setting of words of forgiveness and unconditional love.
