The powerful imagery of the Ascension has been a potent inspiration to generations of composers, from Phillips and Byrd to Finzi, Stanford, and Messiaen. This recording presents a Choral Evensong of contemporary works associated with St Maryâs Cathedral, Edinburgh, leading up to Messiaenâs meditative organ work LâAscension.
