The co-founder of vocal ensemble Voces8, Paul Smith, is also a very fine composer and his album, 'Reflections', will be released by VCM Records in early August.

The album features more than 2500 voices from around the world recorded by Smith, and travels musically from lullabies and plainchant to opera and contemporary choral.

The video below features the first single to be released from the album, the composer's meditative 'Nunc Dimittis', performed by Voces8 in Les Dominicains de Haute Alsace in Guebwiller, France.
