Benjamin Britten Quink - Hymn To St Cecelia Sacred And Profane
Review by Diana Melendez
The album Hymn to St Cecelia Sacred and Profane by Benjamin Britten Quink is a beautiful and moving tribute to the patron saint of music. The Quink vocal ensemble delivers a stunning performance of Britten's choral works, which seamlessly blend sacred and secular themes.
The album opens with "Hymn to St Cecelia," a powerful and uplifting ode to the patron saint of music. The Quink ensemble's voices blend together beautifully, creating a rich and full sound that perfectly captures the majesty of Britten's composition.
The album also features several of Britten's "Choral Dances," which are a joy to listen to. The Quink ensemble's voices dance and weave together in intricate patterns, creating a sense of joyful celebration that is infectious.

About Benjamin Britten Quink
British composer, conductor, and pianist.
Born: November 22, 1913, in Lowestoft, UK - died: December 04, 1976, in Aldeburgh, UK.
He showed talent from an early age, and first came to public attention with the a cappella choral work A Boy Was Born in 1934. With the premiere of his opera Peter Grimes in 1945, he leapt to international fame. For the next fifteen years he devoted much of his compositional attention to writing operas, establishing him as one of the leading 20th century figures in this genre. Britten's interests as a composer were wide-ranging; he produced important music in such varied genres as orchestral, choral, solo vocal (much of it written for the tenor Peter Pears), chamber and instrumental, as well as film music. He also took a great interest in writing music for children and amateur performers, and was a fine pianist and conductor.
One of Britten's most important works, The War Requiem was completed 20 December 1961, and first performed 30 May 1962. Britten received many prizes and honors, including becoming a Companion of Honour in 1952, and a member of the Order of Merit in 1965.
