This joyful setting of the Benedictus was commissioned by St Catharine’s College Cambridge in 2009 for their newlyformed girls’ choir. Its theatrical exuberance made it instantly popular and it is now also available in an orchestral version (commissioned by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Chorus: contact hire@fabermusic.com for more information).An exciting addition to Faber's Choral Signature Series Nigel Hess' Benedictus is arranged for accompanied SSA voices.
