In Winter’s House

In Winter’s House

Tenebrae’s fourth Christmas album features a wide range of festive music, including Britten’s iconic Ceremony of Carols for upper voices and harp. The album takes its name from a wonderfully atmospheric piece by Joanna Marsh, commissioned for Tenebrae’s tenors and basses in 2019.

The groups faultless vocal blend under Nigel Short is a given: the brightness of the voices is brought out in the traditional Angelus ad virginem, while Edward W Naylor’s Vox dicentis allows them off the leash in some thrilling vocal declamation

A technically superb display of a largely unfamiliar, and imaginatively chosen, festive music. One to warm the chilliest evenings
