Edmund Milly: “Caedmon’s Hymn“ (Ensemble Inversus)

Ensemble Inversus singing in an April 2, 2011 concert at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Montreal, Quebec. Debut concert of a new chamber choir comprised of young Montreal singers, many of whom studied or are studying voice at McGill University. We are an un-conducted ensemble, but I provide some direction and keep things organized. My setting of one of the most famous Old English short poems. Going for a somewhat shape-notey aesthetic, but with some stacked fifths and funky chords thrown in
