The vocal ensemble Apollo5 have launched their new single, The Owl by Toby Young, with a beautiful video. Setting a text by Jennifer Thorp, the track is taken from their forthcoming Christmas album, A Deep But Dazzling Darkness. Due out on December 3 on the Voces8 Records label, the album will feature consort arrangements of pieces more typically heard sung by a full choir alongside a number of contemporary works.

But in the meantime, you can enjoy their beautiful performance of The Owl in this stunning film featuring art by Catherine Hyde; the video was created by Anne Sadovska (visual design), and Jérôme Tromson (digital creation).
