Sumptuous harmonies, beautiful melodies and heartfelt feelings of wonder and compassion characterise all three works in this exciting programme of choral music for choir, soloists, harp and string orchestra on the theme of light.Soothing and soaring in equal measure is award-winning composer Howard Goodall’s requiem for our time, Eternal Light, a Bristol premiere for this beautiful, moving work which has touched millions through performances on radio and in the concert hall.

‘Howard Goodall’s requiem for the living is an understated, haunting distillation of medieval choral church music … a gorgeous framework of sound.’
