Reviews

‘Will Todd's moment in the glare of popular consciousness came in June when his anthem The Call of Wisdom was sung at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service in London … under the graceful direction of Nigel Short, the 22 mixed voices of Tenebrae imbue it with a warm, comfortable glow' (Gramophone)

'Is Will Todd slowly morphing into the new John Rutter? This soothingly mellifluous collection of 12 short choral pieces suggests as much. Tenebrae, a crack choir, sings it all immaculately' (BBC Music Magazine)
This was my first collaboration with the Genesis Foundation and the piece makes full and lyrical use of the sumptuous choral textures of the chamber choir, interwoven with bell-like harp calls.
