Reviews

'On the evidence of this album, Tenebrae’s fan-base deserves to extend to anyone inspired by excellent choral singing. The professional chamber choir’s second disc on Signum’s new contemporary label contains world-premiere recordings of works by Francis Pott, Alexander L’Estrange and Jeremy Filsell. Tavener’s Mother and Child has about it the appealing artlessness of his finest choral works, while Pott’s My Song is Love Unknown emerges as a miniature masterpiece' (Classic FM Magazine)
O be joyful in the Lord (Jubilate; Psalm 100) pays affectionate homage to a number of influential works, most notably Sebastian Forbes’ brilliant and unjustly neglected Aedis Christi Canticles from which Jeremy Filsell (b1964) quotes in the concluding bars. Passing references to music by both Graham Whettam and William Walton in certain rhythmic and melodic shapes can also be discerned.
