This dramatic programme charts a journey through the seasons from dark to light, centering around the winter and summer solstices. The coldest winter is captured in Maxwell Davies’s O magnum mysterium and Poulenc’s chilling Un soir de neige, set alongside a new commission for male voices from acclaimed British composer Joanna Marsh. Ešenvalds’s ethereal Stars sets a new tone before Holst’s Third Group of Hymns from the Rig Veda (written for female voices and harp) hail the coming of spring, and the programme culminates with John Rutter’s heartfelt thanks to God, Hymn to the Creator of Light. This varied programme encompasses Tenebrae’s core values of passion and precision, showcasing the choir’s virtuosity as well as the richness of sound which has garnered worldwide acclaim.
