Tenebrae
Nigel Short (director)
Joby Talbot: Path Of Mircales: Roncesvalles (17:22); Burgos (15:04); Leon (11:44); Santiago (18:13) "From it's opening eerie rising vocal glissando (a Taiwanese singing effect called pasiputput) for the gentlemen of Nigel Short's Tenebrae, to the final distribution of the pilgrims having reached Finisterre, west of Santiago, when the singers disappear from view, singing and chanting into the distance until all that is left is silence, Joby Talbot's ambitious a cappella "Path Of Mircales" is little short of a musical miracle itself. I would go as far to suggest that this is to the first decade of the 21st century what Arvo Pärt's "Passio" was twenty years earlier." - Nick Breckenfield Tenebrae, "a first class, well-drilled ensemble...the effect was magical." - London Evening Standard "Path of Mircales", for a cappella choir, was commissioned by Tenebrae from Joby Talbot and premiered last year. The work is based on the most enduring route of Catholic pilgrimage - the great Pilgrimage to Santiago. The four movements of "Path of Miracles" are titled with the names of the four main staging posts of the 'Camino Frances' - 1. Roncesvalles, 2. Burgos, 3. Leon, and 4. Santiago. The 'Camino Frances' is the central axis of a network of pilgrimage routes to Santiago. Talbot's music has been performed by, amongst others, the London Sinfonietta, The BBC Symphony Orchestra, The Brunel Ensemble, Evelyn Glennie and The Duke Quartet. In addition, Talbot also writes for the big and small screen. Credits include, The League of Gentlemen and The Hitchhik'ers Guide to the Galaxy. Tenebrae, founded and directed by former King's Singer Nigel Short, is a professional vocal ensemble, whose motto is passion and precision. Tenebrae has built an impressive reputation for innovative and memorable performances throughout the UK and Europe.
