New: Taylor Scott Davis Choir and Orchestra Series

We are pleased to announce our new series!

Hailed by the Wall Street Journal as penning “dreamy vocal lines” that “overlap and intensify to stunning effect”, rising-star US composer Taylor Scott Davis’ “inspired pen” (Opera Today) is much in demand by vocal groups and orchestras around the globe as both a composer and an orchestrator. Recent works written for VOCES8 and The VOCES8 Foundation Choir and Orchestra have been released by Decca Classics (A Choral Christmas) winning 5* praise from BBC Music Magazine and commission premieres include venues such as Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and Cadogan Hall, London. To Sing of Love: a Triptych will be released by VOCES8 Records in June 2024.

Taylor’s music has been described as “sonically luxurious”, memorable and inspiring of hope, and his belief in supporting collaboration, diversity and creating musical opportunities at all levels underpins all. From “full filmic blockbuster technicolor” to ravaging, soulful countermelodies and harmonies, Taylor’s music has a unique and timely voice.

“…it’s Taylor Scott Davis’ sparkling, roof-raising arrangements of the classics that really impress” (BBC Music Magazine, 5* – Magnificat, Five Carol arrangements)

“it’s the sumptuousness velvetiness of the textures, the propelling nature of the counterpoint, the contrasts of light and darkness, the prevailing exultancy – that really draw the listener’s attention” (Opera Today; ‘To Sing of Love: a Triptych’ for violin, choir, orchestra)
