Video of the Day: Apollo5 sing Sonnet 81 by Taylor Scott Davis

Apollo5 are the ideal vocal ensemble for Taylor Scott Davis's spine-tingling harmonies

Ahead of their new album, 'Haven', which is due to be released next month, today Apollo5 release a recording of Sonnet 81 by Taylor Scott Davis. Davis's Sonnet 81 is a setting of Pablo Neruda's poem, which begins: 'And now you’re mine. Rest with your dream in my dream.' 

Davis's rich, dense harmonies and the seemingly weightless vocal blend of Apollo 5's performance combine to make for a deeply enveloping listening experience. 

The upcoming album, 'Haven', features Byrd's Mass for Five Voices interspersed with works by Ola Gjeilo, Sarah McLachlan, Victoria Vita Poleva, Michael McGlynn and more. Find out more here: apollo5.co.uk/haven
