Christ Church Cathedral Choir at 500

An undisputed choral masterpiece of the 16th century, John Taverner’s Western Wynde Mass was based on a haunting, bittersweet Middle English folk song. Here it sits alongside music from the 20th and 21st centuries, including Nico Muhly’s brand new The Shadow of The Sun, a multi-movement exploration of how poetry, art, and especially glass can act as a membrane between the visible world and the divine.
