The Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge (men and boys) and conductor Andrew Nethsingha move into unfamiliar territory with this release of early 20th century music, not only musically, but in the contemporary graphics. They push their sound a bit away from the pure English style in favor of richer European textures. Whether it works will be a matter of taste, but give it a try; this is an unusually well-assembled program. Francis Poulenc's Mass in G of 1937 is performed fairly often, but the other two works, a World War II-era Missa Brevis of Zoltán Kodály and the Otcenas, a vernacular Lord's Prayer setting by Leos Janácek, are rarities. All three are works of affirmation, the Poulenc famously so, dating from just after his religious conversion, and all three temper their tonal vocabularies a bit from what had preceded them. Most impressive is the Kodály, written just as the Soviet Union and the Germans prepared to fight it out in the streets of Budapest. Avoiding the folk-influenced idiom of Kodály's earlier years, it is framed by a minor mode organ prelude and a major mode postlude, and it contains internal junctures where dark is likewise answered by light. Sample the Janácek, written for a women's shelter in the city of Brno, to hear the haunting combination of choir, harp, and organ. The music of the entire album holds together, and even if the purity of children's voices doesn't quite fit the subject matter, it's still often strangely beautiful. Recommended.
