Michael Finnissy is among the leading composers of our generation, and this CD forms part of the Metier Finnissy cycle, still ongoing. Finnissy wrote “This Church” in 2001-3 to celebrate the 900th anniversary of St. Mary de Haura, New Shoreham, on the Sussex coast. This church and the evolving community around it is typical of countless others across Britain. Its story exemplifies the history of Christianity from Norman times to the present.

Performed by Richard Jackson (baritone), Jane Money (mezzo-soprano),
Tony Potter and Larry Yates (narrators), Philip Adams (organ),
Ixion, conducted by Michael Finnissy.
