Cappella Nova is Scotland's leading early music vocal ensemble, founded by Alan and Rebecca Tavener in 1986 to focus on Scottish music - both early and newly commissioned. Since then the group has commissioned more than 30 new works.
Director Alan Tavener, Soprano Libby Crabtree, Ruth Dean, Mhairi Lawson, Rebecca Tavener, Alto Sandy Chenery, Anne Lewis, William Missin, Tenor Robert Horn, Clifford Lister, Mark Wilde, Bass Nigel Brookes, Paul Charrier, Nicholas York-Jones
Nou lat us sing is a celebration of Scottish festive material, from Medieval and Renaissance motets to traditional and contemporary work celebrating Christmas and the New Year: the earliest work on the CD is Hac in anni Janua, taken from the 13th-century St Andrews Music Book, and the recording ends with a new arrangement of the traditional ballad Auld Lang Syne.
