Tenebrae is delighted to perform in Houston, with a programme celebrating some of the finest choral works from the Renaissance through to the present day, ranging from Allegri’s haunting ‘Miserere mei, Deus’, to Holst’s resplendent setting of ‘Nunc Dimittis’. Featuring a number of familiar favourites, these works showcase the prayerful intimacy of English masters old and new, and the soaring contrapuntal lines of the late Renaissance. Closing with Harris’ spectacular ‘Faire is the Heaven’, this programme is a true homage to choral greats past and present.
