A new record label has been launched to allow people to listen to choral music performed at Aberdeen University worldwide.
The Vox Regis will showcase work from both the Choir of King’s College and the Chamber Choir.
Its first recording – O Sacrum Convivium – will be released at the May Festival on Friday, with proceeds being used to boost dementia research at the university.
The CD will include work from lecturers Dr Phillip Cook, Professor Paul Mealor alongside postgraduate students Thomas LaVoy and John Hudson.
Professor David Smith said it was great to have composers’ work showcased.
He said: “Our choirs are in high demand and such is the quality of their work that the choirs have been invited to perform at flagship events including the BBC proms and in front of the royal family.
“Aberdeen is also home to gifted student and staff composers, including Professor Paul Mealor who has achieved worldwide acclaim.
“The record label will provide an opportunity to showcase the work of our other talented composers, including music by Phillip Cooke.
“His music has won widespread critical acclaim, and it is a privilege to be able to making premiere recordings of three of his pieces.”
The second record will be released later this year and will include music from the chamber choir directed by Prof Mealor.
