TEXT by William Blake

Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life & bid thee feed.
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee

Little Lamb I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb I'll tell thee!
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb:
He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child:
I a child & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb God bless thee.
Little Lamb God bless thee.

20 years ago two brothers must’ve had an incredible dream that has grown into this great organization that reaches worldwide. We are fortunate to be alive during this magical time. I’m very thankful for the two Smith brothers. May your dream live on. Blessings.

It's not just music, it's much more... it's a deep prayer, more majestic than the Universe. I've discovered that I see the Creator. Peace

Most grateful for VOCES8 to continue bringing us these beautiful sounds. Molly performs with such confidence and although her voice is quite different from Eleanor's she brings a welcome new sound to the choir. Best wishes for this New Year.

The Lamb, written by William Blake is part of his poetry cycle, Songs of Innocence. He wrote a twin collection, Songs of Experience, of which The Tiger is most well known. The " Tiger, burning bright in the forest of the night, " represents the glow of the industrial revolution. God's peaceful and innocent creation, The Lamb, representing Jesus, is contrasted by The Tiger, mans fierce destructive nature. As we face the decimation of innocence and the natural world by the corporate one, Blake's poetry is more relevant than ever. Thank you Voces 8 for bringing Blake's masterpiece so beautifully back to the fore.

Luke Mayernik wrote the most incredible Maundy Thursday piece, worth a listen for anyone looking for some liturgical music next Holy Week, Mandatum Novum

I was shortlisted for this competition, so I was interested to hear the piece that beat me!... I love it. It's a well-crafted, thoughtful piece that stays with you after you hear it. Clever harmony and changing textures that feel natural but original, always supporting the text.👏

Delicious! Wonderful solo, Molly! It was worth the whole thing just for the last warm chord!

Wasn’t sure Tavener’s setting of Blake needed a successor, but this is a worthy one. And perfectly performed, as literally always.
