Daniel Hyde has had important careers as both a choral director and an organist. Hyde has recorded as both an organist and choir director, beginning in 2007 with the album Christmas Organ Music from King's College, Cambridge. Hyde was soon hired as director of music at Jesus College, Cambridge, and then in 2009, as choirmaster ("Informator Choristarum"), tutorial fellow, and lecturer at Magdalen College, Oxford. In 2018, Hyde was named the director of music for the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, replacing the retiring Stephen Cleobury. He was slated to take up the baton in October of 2019 but stepped in early due to Cleobury's ill health. In 2020, Hyde released the album Carols from King's. He and the choir returned in 2022 with Now the Green Blade Riseth: Choral Music for Eastern, and in 2023, the group issued the EP Rutter: Orchestral Carols.
