Tenebrae: I Saw Eternity
01 December 2024/ Belgium / Antwerp
In Tenebrae’s unique blend, the individuality of each voice shines through perfect harmony, making their performance in AMUZ (Flanders Festival Antwerp) an unmissable experience. Add infinite precision, a dazzling ear for detail, and uncompromising dedication, and it becomes immediately clear why the award-winning chamber choir under Nigel Short is so highly acclaimed. Another eminent Brit, Sir James MacMillan, composed his Miserere on commission from AMUZ, where it was a highlight of Laus Polyphoniae 2009.
MacMillan shares this searingly beautiful two-part programme with Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach’s iconic motets, filled with contrasting textures, virtuoso declamation, brilliant rhetoric, and heartfelt emotion, represent the genre’s crowning achievement at the height of the Baroque.
