Alec Roth”s new oratorio, A Time to Dance, is a celebration of times and seasons. Jeffrey Skidmore and Ex Cathedra, who gave the première of the work in 2012, recreate the sheer exuberance of that live performance on this recording. The oratorio is paired with Roth”s Magnificat and Nunc dimittis (Hatfield Service) and Men & Angels, a clever setting of John Donne”s Antiphon “”Praised be the God of love.””
