Tenebrae visit the beautiful candle-lit Cathédrale de Monaco with a programme celebrating some of the finest choral works from the Renaissance through to the present day, ranging from the haunting Allegri ‘Miserere mei, Deus’, to Whitacre’s resplendent ‘I thank You God’. Featuring a number of familiar favourites, these works showcase the prayerful intimacy of contemporary English masters and the soaring contrapuntal lines of the late Renaissance. This programme is a true homage to choral greats past and present.
