This richly varied programme includes Poulenc’s joyous and unpredictable Gloria, Arvo Pärt’s meditative The Beatitudes, and James Whitbourn’s luminous and expressive Son of God Mass - a rare combination of choir, organ, and saxophone in a compelling blend of ancient and modern. Renowned saxophonist Alastair Penman joins Tredici to bring this unique texture to life. Also featured are Knut Nystedt's mystical Immortal Bach, Philip White’s Palimpsest—a contemporary reimagining of Tallis’s If Ye Love Me—and the austere beauty of Morales’s Parce mihi Domine.
