_New Men
Take to the Sky: a close-harmony extravaganza
__"Frankly, it really is terrific fun. The arrangements are clever and focused; the top notes sparkle; and everything is done with tremendous panache. In Oxford, a cappella appears to be having a bit of a moment; the New Men give all you'd expect and a little bit more."
Cherwell, January 2012

Departing from their usual haunts of Palestrina, Couperin and Mozart, New Men have released 'Take to the Sky' – a modern medley of close-harmony arrangements. The disc, which was performed and produced by the eight undergraduate members of New College Choir, includes numbers by Take That, Billy Joel, Backstreet Boys and Katy Perry.
