This intimate performance for Good Friday highlights monumental works by Tallis, Bach & Howells. Opening with Knut Nystedt’s ode to Bach, Komm süsser Tod, the program transitions to Thomas Tallis’s stunning Lamentations of Jeremiah I. In the last of our series of Bach motets started in 2013, we will perform his iconic Jesu Meine Freude, featuring 11 movements of chorales, choruses and solo trios. The concert concludes with Herbert Howells’ Requiem, an introspective and contemplative work that exploits the full range of vocal harmonic colours that are a signature of Luminous Voices.
