The RSCM Millennium Youth Choir's third CD is entitled The Heart's Voice and includes a wonderful selection of music by contemporary church music composers associated with the RSCM, conducted by David Ogden. The main work is James Whitbourn's setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, 'The Canticles of Mary and Simeon' scored for choir, organ and solo viola, which the choir commissioned and premiered in 2011. It also includes anthems by Thomas Hewitt Jones, Malcolm Archer, Philip Moore, David Ogden, John Rutter and the young composer Owain Park. Owain's piece, Let Thine Heart Keep Thy Commandments was runner-up in a recent composition competition run by the Kings James Bible Trust and the RSCM. The winning work from the same competition, Christopher Totney's The Mystery of Christ, is also included on the CD. The choir's organist Daniel Moult's contributes a recording of an astonishingly virtuosic work by Iain Farrington, 'Livewire'. The CD was recorded in the chapel of Tonbridge School.
