Miserere - MacMillan - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short

Sir James MacMillan composed his Miserere to be premiered at the Flanders Festival in 2009. There are many choral settings of this Psalm 50, but the best known is the famous setting by Gregorio Allegri: MacMillan’s setting is 12 minutes long and a big sing for the choir. If you have time, we encourage you to sit back and listen to the whole piece - it’s a contemporary masterpiece! This film is taken from the broadcast of a concert at St John’s Smith Square in London during April 2023. With grateful thanks to BBC Four for broadcasting this concert and permitting us to share it with you, to K418 Arts for production, and to St John’s Smith Square for hosting us. ___ Sopranos: Grace Davidson, Rachel Haworth, Victoria Meteyard, Áine Smith, Katie Trethewey, Emma Walshe Altos: Hannah Cooke, Martha McLorinan, Elisabeth Paul, Anna Semple Tenors: Jeremy Budd, Jack Granby, Hamish MacGregor, Nicholas Todd Basses: Joseph
