Anonymous 4 and the Chilingirian String Quartet perform songs arranged or composed by Sir John Tavener. In this CD the themes of Light and Darkness are explored musically.
Included are some ancient chants and some of Tavener's original compositions. His masterpiece 'The Bridegroom' is based on the parable of the Ten Virgins. This is truly an amazing piece of music and a great example of what contemporary sacred music can be.
Listen to the sample to hear part of this song. Several pieces on this recording are simply haunting.
