LUX

LUX
- Shrink-wrapped
Lux (the Latin word for light) brings hope, banishes darkness and nurtures both the body and the spirit; it has inspired composers throughout history.

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 - which appeared on the soundtrack for Richard Curtis film About Time).

Includes popular classics such as Miserere (Allegri) and Nimrod (Elgar) as well as Ubi Caritas by Paul Mealor, a piece commissioned by Prince William and Catherine Middleton and premiered at their wedding in 2011.

Features works by two of the most talked about composers of our time: Ola Gjeilo (Norway) and Will Todd (UK).

Classic FM (UK) was closely involved in repertoire selection for this album.

In addition to the soothing sound of unaccompanied voices blended in harmony, several tracks feature otherworldly additions of saxophone, cello, harp and water glasses.
