CD Recordings
CD recordings are usually the culmination of a year-long project exploring a particular composer or repertoire, normally contrasted from one year to the next.
Recordings are hard work but very rewarding, with notable post-recording parties and a product that endures for life. We normally record in a venue outside Caius which might be somewhere else in Cambridge but often involves staying at a special location in London, Oxford or elsewhere, often depending on the type of repertoire being performed.
All our CDs are available to purchase on our website, and are also available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify.
In addition to our CD recordings, we often post video clips from our services on our Youtube Channel.

Matthew Martin: Masses, Canticles, Motets
The album showcases a collection of works written by the choir’s Precentor, Matthew Martin, between 2004 and 2022, which includes some world premiere recordings. From simple mass and motet settings to more complex festival anthems and canticles, the music is broadly and unabashedly composed as an extension to a familiar twentieth-century English idiom, his varied style traversing both the Anglican and Catholic traditions with hints of less familiar European chant and polyphony.
