Tenebrae
I saw Eternity
Bach and MacMillan
Nigel Short (Director)

Bach's motet's are pillars of the choral repertoire, requiring minute attention to detail as well as a full emotional range. Like Bach, MacMillan has written much of his music for the church, and his settings of the Tenebrae responsories paint a vivid picture of the events of Holy Week.
