In their variety and beauty, they lie at the heart of Albion's inspiration. Many of the songs are hundreds of years old, but in Fraser Wilson's arrangements they are reclothed in lush contemporary colours. Working with up to twelve singers at a time, Albion performs mostly unaccompanied, allowing the purity of the human voice to sound across the centuries. the group is known for its fresh sound and vibrant energy, and for warm, wholehearted music-making.  less

Recorded live on June 4, 2013, at Christ Lutheran Church in Oakland Park, Florida. Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson. You are the new day You are the new day I will love you more than me and more than yesterday If you can but prove to me you are the new day Send the sun in time for dawn Let the birds all hail the morning Love of life will urge me say you are the new day When I lay me down at night knowing we must pay Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday Thoughts that we as humans small could slow worlds and end it all lie around me where they fall before the new day One more day when time is running out for everyone Like a breath I knew would come I reach for the new day Hope is my philosophy Just needs days in which to be Love of life means hope for me borne on a new day You are the new day  less
