Synopsis

Product Description
Lux (Latin for light) brings hope; it banishes darkness; it nurtures both the body and the spirit it has inspired composers from the earliest times until the present day.

A luminous selection of pieces spanning over 400 years: from Thomas Tallis and Gregorio Allegri to Massive Attack (Teardrop) and Ben Folds Five (The Luckiest - which appeared on the soundtrack for Richard Curtis film About Time).

Includes popular classics such as Allegris Miserere and Elgars Nimrod

Paul Mealors Ubi Caritas, commissioned by Prince William, was sung at the Prince s wedding to Catherine Middleton in 2011.

Features works by two of the most talked about composers of our time: Norways Ola Gjeilo and Will Todd (UK)

Classic FM (UK) have been closely involved in repertoire selection for this album

There is something inherently comforting about the sound of unaccompanied voices blended in harmony

The otherworldly addition of saxophone, cello, harp and water glasses add another dimension to the tracks on which they appear
