Setra Consort

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. We all have significant memories of how we came to music but as a group we will never forget the first recording session we had in a very cold church in Kent! We went for four days and shared a beautiful house in the countryside! Idyllic! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Nigel Short, Tenebrae, Victoria: Requiem Mass, 1605 One Piano, Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix, Vol. 2 “In Beauty May I Walk” Obviously we have to chose our own, we are so proud of it and it contains some of our favourite music! We've also chosen Tenebrae's take on the Victoria Requiem, just listen and you'll understand! And then something different, who doesn't love 70's? Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “In Beauty May I Walk” This is the title track from our first album and is a really beautiful piece. Unusually it only uses notes from one scale with no accidentals yet it still creates exquisite harmonies centred around a theme which carries through the entire piece. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Again we will all have very different answers to this, we've all travelled and sang in many amazing places which I'm sure will be high on the list! As a group however I guess it would be our first concert in Winchester, made everything very real! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? The more concerts we can do and the more of our wonderful audience we can meet the better! We really want to take our music to as many people as possible so that's all that matters to us at the moment!
