When Sleep Comes
Tenebrae’s vocal consort is joined by composer and saxophonist Christian Forshaw on this album of music for nightfall. Exploring the distinctive sound world of voices and saxophone, When Sleep Comes juxtaposes ancient and modern, bringing new context and colours to sacred music by Orlando Gibbons, Hildegard von Bingen and Thomas Tallis. Also featuring a number of original works, the album as a whole invites you to a place of quiet reflection and contemplation.
