The Tudor Consort singing in 16-part harmony is really a glorious thing to listen to! In today's SOUNZ Film the choir performs David Griffiths' reverent and dramatic 'O nata lux' - translated as "light born of light". The choir moves between tension and resolution, filling the space at Wellington Cathedral of St Paul with a sound that seems much larger than the real size of the choir.
