Lux - VOCES8

2015 release from the British a cappella octet, 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'). LUX (the Latin for light) brings hope, banishes darkness and nurtures both the body and the spirit - it has inspired composers from the earliest times until the present day. Features works by two of the most talked about composers of our time: Norway's Ola Gjeilo and Will Todd (UK). There is something inherently comforting about the sound of unaccompanied voices blended in harmony. Saxophone, cello, harp and water glasses make otherworldly additions to several tracks.
