## Description

Lux – the Latin for “light” – brings radiance, hope and comfort; from the pale glow of the moon or starlight to the blaze of summer sun, it nurtures both the body and the spirit. There is something inherently comforting about the sound of unaccompanied voices in harmony and as this luminous selection of pieces demonstrates, composers across the ages have felt the same way.

Review: A luminous selection of religious chorals from the Renaissance to the present - We listen in the compilation to the expressive medium of the human voice at its best and finest in sublime religious chorals from the Renaissance to the present day. The two works from the Renaissance are Thomas Tallis' masterpiece 'O Nata Lux' (born of light), the luminosity of which acquires another layer of beauty through the otherworldly sound of the saxophone; the second, the famous 'Miserere' by Gregorio Allegri representing the conflict between darkness and light is traditionally performed during the service of Tenebrae (shadows). Tavener's trance-like work, 'Mother of God, here I stand' and Rachmaninov's magnificent 'Bogoroditse Devo', both derive from the mystical musical traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church and both are parts of extended nocturnal works, in the case of Tavener from 'The Veil of the Temple' and in the case of Rachmaninov from his exemplary work 'All-night Virgil'. Early mystical Latin poetry has inspired modern, living composers represented in this compilation who have developed links wit Voces8: Lauridsen in his 'O Nata Lux' uses simple means to create a universe of spiritual joy and hope. The first and last pieces in the compilation are both titled 'Ubi Caritas' and they are exactly 3.48 minutes each but belong to different composers and their music has different timbre. The first by the Norwegian, Ola Gjeilo draws from the Gregorian chant while the concluding piece by Paul Mealor, a resplendent and celebratory motet was commissioned by Prince William and was sung at the Prince's wedding to Catherine Middleton in 2011. Finally, in recent years the boundaries between pop and classical music have become blurred. Two beautiful transcriptions represent this trend: 'Teardrop' from 'Massive Attack's' album 'Mezzanine' and the ballad 'The Luckiest' which appeared on the soundtrack of the film 'About Time'.
Review: Utterly beautiful - VOCES8: These guys are simply the best. Wonderful arrangements, expertly sung and produced. Particular favourites are Elgar’s lux arterna and “The luckiest” - what a great song that is, always tugs at the heart.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A luminous selection of religious chorals from the Renaissance to the present
*by S***T on 5 February 2017*

We listen in the compilation to the expressive medium of the human voice at its best and finest in sublime religious chorals from the Renaissance to the present day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Utterly beautiful
*by T***N on 19 January 2022*

VOCES8: These guys are simply the best. Wonderful arrangements, expertly sung and produced. Particular favourites are Elgar’s lux arterna and “The luckiest” - what a great song that is, always tugs at the heart.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One problem…
*by J***T on 23 October 2022*

I might be alone in valuing the text that accompanies a Voces 8 CD but for me the white on yellow background is a real disappointment here. It renders the text almost illegible and I’m surprised it passed their usually rigorous and exemplary design process. Never mind. Music sublime as always. They could sing my shopping list and I’d listen.
