<\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote>On the heels of having several #1 Billboard Classical Traditional albums, De Montfort Music<\/strong> teamed up with sister label AimHigher Recordings<\/strong> and Sony Classical<\/strong> in the recording of the angelic music of <a href=\"http:\/\/smarturl.it\/AveMariaAz\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ave Maria<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by The Boys of St. Paul\u2019s Choir School<\/strong>. \u00a0The album will be released on September 8, 2017. It is available for preorder now. This will be the second international release for the Choir School- who topped the Billboard classical charts, and became a media favorite with their 2014 release Christmas in Harvard Square<\/em>. \u00a0They have been featured on CBS This Morning, NPR, Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, WGBH, Boston Globe and even had their own PBS Special.\u00a0 Having recently celebrated their 50th<\/sup> anniversary, Saint Paul\u2019s Choir School in Cambridge, Massachusetts strives to engage young men in the development of their intellectual and musical talents.\u00a0 Located in the heart of Harvard Square, the school has had a large presence and impact within the Harvard community. The school seeks to develop the diverse musical talents of each boy so that he may use his musical gifts serving the community at large by the performance of master works of choral literature.<\/p>\nFounded in 1963 by Dr. Theodore Marier, an internationally acclaimed choral scholar, Saint Paul\u2019s Choir School is the premiere musically intensive boy choir school, which educates <\/em>choristers in grades 4 through 8 in the United States. The Choir School seeks to embrace the great cathedral school tradition as it unites a rigorous musical and academic curriculum preparing each student to grow and flourish in a dynamic and changing world.<\/p>\nHaving performed frequently with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with many notable conductors including Itzhak Perlman, and having performed on the road from Carnegie Hall to St. Peter\u2019s Square at a papal audience for Pope Francis to Red Sox and Celtics games, the boys of St. Paul\u2019s Choir School have covered much diverse and musically challenging territory.<\/p>\nSaint Paul\u2019s Choir School \u2014identifies and accepts boys from the greater Boston area as well as the entire United States, who are musically talented and academically qualified.\u00a0 Students are offered an intensive musical training and a rigorous academic program.<\/p>\nThe Boys of St. Paul\u2019s Choir School are at an apex of greatness under the musical direction of Mr. John Robinson, who hails from the UK and came up in the boys choir schools in Cambridge, UK.\u00a0 The community is led by Fr. William Kelly, himself once a choirboy student at St. Paul\u2019s.<\/p>\nAve Maria<\/em><\/strong> will be released on AimHigher Recordings through their international distribution collaboration with Sony Classical. The creative forces behind the album include multiple Grammy Award-winning Producer Christopher Alder, and Brad Michel, also a Grammy Award-winner.\u00a0\u00a0 Choirmaster John Robinson masterfully directed the presentation of the repertoire. Bursting with the transcendent sounds of this choir of boys and men coupled with the glorious acoustic of St. Paul\u2019s in Harvard Square, every selection on Ave Maria<\/em><\/strong> tells a story. Each beautiful and interesting choral work has its own history. Perhaps none more significant than that of the inspiration for Palestrina\u2019s\u00a0Missa Pappae Marcelli <\/em>or of the extraordinary depiction of the Magi from the East in \u2018Reges Tharsis<\/em>,\u2019 on to the vivid and dramatic use of harmony in Bruckner\u2019s\u00a0\u2018Virga Jesse floruit<\/em>.\u2019\u00a0 One thing is clear, this beautiful music has a stream of inspiration running clearly throughout. Dvorak and Rachmaninoff are such well-known names, however Rachmaninoff himself called \u2018Bogoroditse Dyevo\u2019<\/em> a favorite of his own works.<\/p>\nTrack Listing:<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Ave Maria<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Josef Gabriel Rheinberger<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Virga Jesse floruit<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Anton Bruckner<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Stabat mater dolorosa<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Bist du bei mir<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Johann Sebastian Bach<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Gaude, Virgo mater<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Josquin des Prez<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>Reges Tharsis<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nGregorian chant<\/p>\nAncient<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>Da nobis pacem<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Felix Mendelssohn<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>Kyrie (from Missa Papae Marcelli<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>Dignus est Agnus<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nGregorian chant<\/p>\nAncient<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>Angels Ever Bright and Fair<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: George Frideric Handel<\/p>\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li>Tu Trinitatis unitas<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k<\/p>\n<ol start=\"12\">\n<li>Sub tuum praesidium<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Marc-Antoine Charpentier<\/p>\n<ol start=\"13\">\n<li>Bogoroditse Dyevo<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Sergei Rachmaninoff<\/p>\n<ol start=\"14\">\n<li>O salutaris hostia (from Messe br\u00e8ve<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: L\u00e9o Delibes<\/p>\n<ol start=\"15\">\n<li>In paradisum<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Gabriel Faur\u00e9<\/p>\n<ol start=\"16\">\n<li>O mysterium ineffabile<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lalouette<\/p>\n<ol start=\"17\">\n<li>Nulla in mundo<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Antonio Vivaldi<\/p>\n<ol start=\"18\">\n<li>A Song of Wisdom<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nBy: Charles Villiers Stanford<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nAbout AimHigher Recordings: \n<\/strong>AimHigher Recordings is the sister label of De Montfort Music and releases eclectic Classical and Jazz music.
