This wide ranging program offers connections and contrasts in music of devotion and consolation. The settings by life long friends Holst and Vaughan Williams, whilst very different, are highly affecting. The music of Rachmaninov, whose hymn derives from his 1915 All-Night Vigil, and John Tavener is immersed in the ritual of the Russian Orthodox Church. Marian Prayers come from Pierre Villette and Knut Nystedt. The music that gives it's name to the title of the disc is the beautiful 'conversation' of Roxanna Panufnik. Founded by conductor and composer David Ogden in 2002 to sing a live broadcast on BBC Radio, Exultate Singers has gone on to give over 120 concerts, broadcasts and other appearances in the United Kingdom, Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany and Spain. The choir has given several broadcasts on BBC Radio and has appeared on BBC television's Songs of Praise and the One Show.
