Christopher Tin Lost Birds

"The Lost Birds" is a soaring elegy for the loss of bird species due to human activity. Composed and conducted by Christopher Tin and featuring Voces8 and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Tin's new requiem is a celebration of birds - as symbols of beauty, hope, peace and renewal - but it also mourns their absence.

Britain's Voces8 are recognized for their elegant balance and range of color, including smooth harmonies that have been compared to the King's Singers. Their repertory ranges from early Renaissance choral-vocal music to Gershwin and contemporaries, sometimes within the same recording. Following success in competitions, they emerged with From Gibbons to Gershwin in 2007. Four albums later, they took on Brahms, Bruckner, Reger in 2011, and their Decca debut, Eventide, charted in the U.K. upon its release in 2013. While they had already released a Christmas album, Winter focused on winter-themed songs more so than holiday music in 2016, and over a dozen albums into their career, 2019's Enchanted Isle reimagined material originally written for film and television. The ensemble was featured on Christopher Tin's The Lost Birds in 2022.
