Vox Luminis at Cadogan Hall

Acclaimed Belgian vocal ensemble Vox Luminis perform masterpieces of English polyphony, including music by Thomas Tallis, John Sheppard, Robert White and Thomas Tomkins.

Vox Luminis was founded by its artistic director Lionel Meunier only in 2004 but the Belgian vocal ensemble has quickly gained an international reputation. Their concert, recorded last week as part of the Choral at Cadogan series, showcases some of the supreme masterpieces of English polyphony, including John Sheppard's epic Media vita, one of the greatest of all settings from the Tudor period, unique in its scale and expressive power.

Programme includes:
Thomas Tallis: O nata lux
Robert White: Christe, qui lux es et dies I
John Sheppard: In manus tuas
John Sheppard: Media vita
Thomas Tallis: Lamentations of Jeremiah I & II
Thomas Tomkins: Funeral Sentences
