Tenebrae

Description:

The office of Tenebrae, from the liturgy of Holy Week, has always fascinated the public and, above all, offered a fertile terrain for composers to exercise their gifts. Such was the case with Victoria, whose exclusively sacred output, nourished by the multiple influences of his years in Rome, offers a place of choice to Tenebrae settings. These Responsories display unparalleled expressive power and amply justify his reputation as the greatest polyphonist of the Spanish Renaissance. - TENEBRAE

Tenebrae return to the sublime music of Tomas Luis De Victoria on Signum with this recording of his timeless Tenebrae Responsories. The works mix the words of the Gospels with other texts commenting on collective suffering written around the fourth century, and would traditionally have been performed as part of a moving service in which candles are slowly extinguished to mark the progress and suffering of Christ that forms the Passion story. Tenebrae's previous disc of works by Victoria (Requiem Mass, 1605) won the BBC Music Magazine Award for Best Choral Album of 2012.
