The Sacrifice

With Peter Taylor - baritone  and Tom Corfield - organ.
Born in 1928, Antonín Tucapský is one of the most significant composers to emerge from the former Czechoslovakia. he has written a number of works for choir. The Sacrifice tells of Christ's crucifixion using the words of George Herbert. It is highly charged and dramatic, reflecting a deep sympathy with the underlying message of Passiontide. Composed in memory of his parents, his accompanying Five Lenten Motets are gems of understatement; intensely moving and uplifting.
Five Mystical Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams provide a wonderful contrast, with English texts set to music by one of the foremost 20th Century composers.
