I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes

The Girl Choristers of The Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick Mark Swinton and Colin Millington organ Director Oliver Hancock This wide-ranging collection of sacred music for treble voices presents twenty-one pieces ranging from the seventeenth century to the present day, including several first recordings. The Girls’ Choir of The Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick, was founded in 1990 by then Director of Music, Simon Lole, who’s perennially popular ‘The Father’s Love’ is featured on this recording. There are first recordings of ‘Four Short Anthems’ by Paul Bryan, written for St John’s College School, Cambridge - beautiful miniatures suitable as introits. Also included are several major recent works for trebles including Mark Blatchly’s ‘Give us the wings of faith’, Sarah MacDonald’s ‘Miserere mei, Deus, together with pieces by Malcolm Archer and Peter Hurford. The Girl Choristers rehearse after school on Mondays and sing Evensong on Wednesday each week during term time, as well as Sunday services at least once a month. They tour regularly, with recent venues including St George’s Chapel Windsor Castle, and Bristol, Chester, St Paul’s, and Canterbury Cathedrals, and overseas tours to Germany and Normandy. The Girls are regularly heard on BBC Radio 3, have appeared on BBC One TV for the annual Easter Day broadcast in 2019 and Songs of Praise, and the Choir boasts a number of BBC ‘Choristers of the Year’ among its alumni.
