Tallis’ exquisitely crafted Lamentations of Jeremiah are a heartfelt response to the destruction of Jerusalem – a theme which is echoed in Byrd’s Ne irascaris, Domine – and the concert also includes Phillipe de Monte’s setting of verses from Psalm 137 and Byrd’s direct response, Quomodo cantabimus. Sir James MacMillan’s settings of the Tenebrae Responsories, from which this award-winning choir takes its name, provide contrast and clarity in their searing harmonic language.
