Westminster Cathedral Choir’s new CD Lumen Christi: A sequence of music for the Easter Vigil was released on Saturday 22 March.

This is the Choir’s first recording under the direction of Simon Johnson as Master of Music. The CD draws us into the mystery of the Paschal Vigil, the very apex of the Church’s liturgical year, transporting us on a journey from darkness into light through a sequence of plainsong and polyphony.

Listeners are invited to immerse themselves in the Cathedral’s own unique treasury of liturgical music, including compositions crafted by its former musicians, as well as repertoire at the heart of the choir’s work.

The CD can be purchased in the Cathedral Gift Shop or via Ad Fontes website.
