Search - English Chamber Orchestra, Tenebrae :: Lux Et Veritas - Music for Peace and Reflection

Lux et Veritas (Light and Truth) is the new album from Will Todd with the professional chamber choir Tenebrae. Todd's music has a universal appeal and he has been hailed as ""one of the UK's most sought-after, versatile composers"". For this collection of sumptuous new choral works Tenebrae are accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra, conducted by the choir's director Nigel Short. This new release follows Will Todd's last choral album The Call of Wisdom, featuring music commissioned for HRH The Queen's Diamond Jubilee service in Westminster Cathedral in 2012.

The title of this CD, Lux et Veritas (light and truth), draws together the sentiments of the 14 pieces so beautifully recorded by Nigel Short with Tenebrae and the English Chamber Orchestra in St Augustine's Church, London in April 2014. The release includes seven new pieces composed by Will Todd that are inspired by his deeply personal journey with his daughter Rowan's illness. All of the new pieces flow from grappling with difficult things and working towards a restful, inner solution. The calming and spiritual nature of the pieces could not have better interpreters than Nigel Short conducting Tenebrae.
