Tenebrae; Nigel Short conductor

Joby Talbot follows his critically acclaimed 2005 commission for Tenebrae, Path of Miracles, with a new a cappella work, a setting of WB Yeats’s The Song of Wandering Aengus. This evening’s concert stands as a celebration of the great British choral tradition and the vast panoply of works written for its finest ensembles. Tenebrae crowns its programme with the transcendent sounds of High Flight, an exquisite evocation of Bob Chilcott’s memories of life as a boy chorister at King’s College, Cambridge.
