Arts Documentary hosted by Nigel Short, published by BBC in 2020 - English narration.







Information

------------------------------

Award-winning British choir Tenebrae, under the direction of Nigel Short, is one of the world's leading vocal ensembles, renowned for its passion and precision. Normally before Easter, Tenebrae would be preparing for one of its busiest periods in the musical calendar. But as the world finds itself engulfed in one of the biggest health emergencies of modern history, Tenebrae, like many other artistic groups, has been forced to cancel its busy Easter season. Around the world, audiences are unable to attend and hear live music.



In this performance, filmed exclusively for BBC Music, Tenebrae once again breaks new ground in a programme of music for Easter, with all 20 of its singers filmed and recorded separately as they isolate themselves in their own homes. Under the direction of Nigel Short conducting via video link, Tenebrae sings a concert for Easter, including Gregorio Allegri's stunning Miserere, at a time when the world has never needed the medicine of music more.



Tenebrae's repertoire for this specially filmed performance includes the following:



JS Bach - Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden

Lobo - Versa est in luctum

Allegri - Miserere

Purcell/Croft - Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts

Parry - My soul, there is a country

JS Bach - Ach Herr, lass dein lieb Engelein
