*Written for Continuum in 2024, first performance

Continuum was founded in 2018 by Harry Guthrie aiming to represent the very best traditions of choral singing. The choir prides itself in offering original and dynamic interpretations of firmly established choral repertoire alongside promoting new commissions and under-performed pieces. Covering repertoire from the Renaissance to the present, Continuum’s singers are drawn from some of the finest choral institutions in the UK with several having met at University whilst singing in the Choirs of Trinity and St John’s College in Cambridge. Many of the singers have performed with leading professional ensembles including Polyphony, Tenebrae, The Sixteen and The Monteverdi Choir. The choir typically comprises eighteen singers.
