Info zu Where All Roses Go, EP Vol. 2

To mark the tenth Anniversary of Apollo5 the group has recorded 3 digital EPs which will form the album “Where All Roses Go”. The group released the first volume on the 24th April.

The whole album explores that most complex human emotion: love.

Love has many different manifestations. It is a rich tapestry intricately woven with conflicting strands: life and loss; beauty and mortality; brave romance and fragility in rejection; the steadfast devotion of a mother’s love (heightened by the awareness of inevitable separation); and in the Christian narrative the Virgin Mary and the eventual ultimate sacrifice.

Released at the time when we remember those who have sacrificed all in the pursuit of peace, this second EP reflects on love with an air of nostalgia and solemnity. Where all Roses Go by Michael McGlynn, is a poignant reminder of man’s ultimate insignificance and eventual return to nature. As if in response, Music when Soft Voices Die set by Taylor Scott Davis, describes human love continuing beyond death. Francis Poulenc’s Salve Regina then exudes deep devotion and a mother’s love. Why Fum’th in Fight, the psalm by Thomas Tallis, is a brief flash of fierce faithfulness portraying betrayal against God, which melts into the contrasting but related Lost Innocence by Paul Smith – a fragile exploration of lost love, lost childhood, and what this means. The Last Rose of Summer, arranged by Fraser Wilson, reassures us that true love lasts beyond the changing seasons.

Praised for their powerful singing and distinctive sound, the award-winning British vocal ensemble Apollo5 proves how dynamic only five voices can be. With such small forces they are able to showcase each individual voice while still achieving their critically acclaimed blend.

Whether performing jazz, pop, classical or even early sacred music, they are known for their exceptional communication with audiences, frequently performing from memory. Apollo5 enjoys a busy world-wide concert diary, as well as being committed to providing inspiring musical opportunities for young people and communities.
