The Clerks / Edward Wickham

 

This disc of world première recordings represents nearly 10 years of commissions by vocal ensemble The Clerks, best known for their pioneering recordings and reconstructions of early music. Written by some of the UK's leading composers, this disc demonstrates the versatility of the group - the compositions themselves are drawn from sources both ancient and modern, from 12th-Century organum to 21st-Century subway adverts.
