Tenebrae - A Prayer for Deliverance
One of the world’s finest choirs returns to Manchester with a beautifully crafted collection of musical farewells.
Former King's Singer Nigel Short and the London-based Tenebrae have become firm favourites at the Bridgewater Hall debut since their debut here in 2020. For this year’s International Concert Series, they’ve shaped an exquisite programme of music tracing the passage of life into death – and whatever may lie beyond.
Opening with Gustav Holst’s haunting motet and closing with Sir William Harris’s setting of John Donne’s transcendent journey ‘into the house and gate of Heaven’, the concert also takes in Sir John Tavener’s homage to a departed family friend, Richard Rodney Bennett’s vivid tribute to Linda McCartney, Caroline Shaw’s setting of Psalm 84 and Herbert Howells’ peerless a cappella Requiem.
