About
Voices of Thunder features a range of spectacular choral pieces that showcase Magdalen College Chapel’s new Eule organ.
Following on from Peace I leave with you, this new album combines the sublime voices of The Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford, with the new and exciting sonorities of the Eule organ. The recording includes music from Joseph Haydn to Judith Weir, as well as Arvo Pärt’s atmospheric Beatitudes, Libby Larsen’s playful I will sing and raise a psalm, and Hubert Parry’s thunderous Blest Pair of Sirens.
The Eule organ was built by Herman Eule Orgelbau of Bautzen in Germany and is the first Eule organ of its kind to have been built in the UK for almost 100 years.

The installation of a new pipe organ, like any long-awaited new arrival, is always best marked with some kind of celebratory fanfare such as this splendid, generously filled disc...Another triumph for the Magdalen musicians and an equally enjoyable experience from both choral and organ points of view.
