in between

This recording presents recent choral works by British-Swiss composer Jessica Ulusoy-Horsley, who explores sound, silence and the spaces between them, performed by Tenebrae under the direction of Nigel Short. The programme features the work Angelic Music, inspired by writings about angelic music based on texts by Rumi, Greek liturgy and spiritual philosophy. However, the centrepiece is the large-scale work The 99 Names, which sets Arabic and Aramaic texts from Islamic and Christian traditions to music and concludes with Cycle of Peace, a response to current conflicts.
