Experience the absolute pinnacle of choral music. Described as “phenomenal” (The Times) and “devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine), the award-winning British choir Tenebrae is one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles. Under the direction of Nigel Short, Tenebrae dives into the turbulent history of sixteenth-century Tudor England—a time when the country was torn between allegiance to Catholic Rome and a rising Protestant nationalism.

While William Byrd and Thomas Tallis top the Tudor charts today, Tenebrae proves that their contemporaries Robert White and William Mundy deserve the exact same acclaim. As the ultimate specialists in British polyphony, the singers reveal the deep, spiritual conviction of this era. Allow yourself to be swept away by the monumental motets of Mundy and White, a masterful mass by Byrd, and Tallis’ deeply moving anthem If ye love me.
