Ne irascaris Domine - Byrd - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short @thetenebraechoir

Tenebrae Choir 2023 marks 400 years since the death of William Byrd, one of the most celebrated composers of the English Renaissance. Byrd was a Catholic living in England at a time when it was strictly forbidden to practise the Catholic faith, but he managed to escape the worst of the persecution by finding favour with Queen Elizabeth I. Many of his sacred works - including this one - are seen to be veiled references to England's abandonment of Catholicism, and the pain this caused to Byrd and his fellow Catholics.

'Ne irascaris Domine' ('Be not angry, Lord') is the first part of a double motet, the second section of which is called 'Civitas sancti tui' ('Your holy city').

Recorded in St Augustine, Kilburn by kind permission of the Vicar & Churchwardens.
Produced by Jonathan Coates.

Sopranos: Grace Davidson, Victoria Meteyard, Josephine Stephenson, Emma Walshe
Altos: Hannah Cooke, Martha McLorinan, Elisabeth Paul
Tenors: Jeremy Budd, Nicholas Madden, Toby Ward

Bogoroditse Devo - Rachmaninov - Tenebrae Choir conducted by Nigel Short

Tenebrae Choir 2024-10-16 | Bogoroditse Devo is the most well-known movement of Rachmaninov's exquisite Vespers, and for very good reason.

Recorded live in 2020 in St Augustine, Kilburn by kind permission of the Vicar & Churchwardens, and produced by Jonathan Coates.

Rest - Vaughan Williams - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short
___

O Earth, lie heavily upon her eyes;
Seal her sweet eyes weary of watching, Earth;
Lie close around her; leave no room for mirth
With its harsh laughter, nor for sound of sighs.
She hath no questions, she hath no replies,
Hushed in and curtained with a blessed dearth
Of all that irked her from the hour of birth;
With stillness that is almost Paradise.
Darkness more clear than noon-day holdeth her,
Silence more musical than any song;
Even her very heart has ceased to stir:
Until the morning of Eternity
Her rest shall not begin nor end, but be;
And when she wakes she will not think it long.

Lord, The day is gone, and I give Thee thanks, O Lord.
Evening is at hand, make it bright unto us.
As day has its evening, so also has life; make it bright unto us.
Cast me not away in the time of age;
Forsake me not when my strength faileth me.

And the day is far spent of this fretful life.
Let Thy strength be made perfect in my weakness.

And bathe those beauteous feet
Which brought from Heaven
The news and Prince of Peace.

To cry for vengeance
Sin doth never cease.

Drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let His eye
See sin, but through my tears.

No star is o'er the lake,
Its pale watch keeping,
The moon is half awake,
Through grey mist creeping,
The last red leaves fall round
The porch of roses,
The clock hath ceased to sound,
The long day closes.

Sit by the silent hearth
In calm endeavour,
To count the sounds of mirth,
Now dumb for ever.

Heed not how hope believes
And fate disposes:
Shadow is round the eaves,
The long day closes.

The lighted windows dim
Are fading slowly.
The fire that was so trim
Now quivers lowly.

Go to the dreamless bed
Where grief reposes;
Thy book of toil is read,
The long day closes

_____

’Twas in the stillness of the night that Jesus came;
No blare of trumpets heralded his birth
Nor broke the wonted silence of the earth;
No clang of bells or blantant hue and cry
Disturbed the calm beneath the Bethlehem sky.
When Jesus came ’twas night,
And the world was still.

’Tis to the quiet heart he loves to come:
Not often ’midst the tumult of the day,
When we can find small time to think or pray,
Or when, confused by agitating care,
We find no secret place for him to share.
We must be still if we his voice would hear.
’Tis to the quiet heart he loves to come.

and the swallow - Caroline Shaw - Tenebrae Conducted by Nigel Short

Tenebrae Choir 2023-11-22 | 'and the swallow' by American composer Caroline Shaw (b.1982) is a setting of Psalm 84, expressing a yearning to be close to God. The second verse speaks of a sparrow and a swallow finding a home, which put the composer in mind of the Syrian refugee crisis and the search for a home where a family can grow.

How beloved is your dwelling place
O Lord of hosts.
My soul yearns
my heart and my flesh cry.
The sparrow found a house, and the swallow her nest,
Where she may place her young.

Our name 'Tenebrae' is the Latin word for darkness or shadows. It's also the name given to three special church services which are performed during Holy Week. This piece is one of three 'Tenebrae responsories' which MacMillan composed to texts from these atmospheric services, during which candles are extinguished one by one.

Tenebrae factae sunt, dum crucifixissent lesum
ludaei: et circa horam nonam exclamavit lesus
voce magna: Deus meus, ut quid me dereliquisti?
Et inclinato capite, emisit spiritum.
Verso: Exclamans lesus voce magna ait: Pater, in
manus tuas commendo spiritum meum.

Darkness fell when the Jews crucified Jesus: and
about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud
voice: My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
And bowing down his head, he gave up the ghost.
Verse: Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said:
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.

Lay a Garland - Pearsall - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short

Tenebrae Choir 2023-09-27 | The text of this beautiful piece by Robert Pearsall is taken from a play by Francis Beaumont, and describes the despair felt by Aspasia when she discovers that her betrothed has been ordered to marry someone else. The music is notable for Pearsall's liberal use of suspensions - in other words, when a note belonging to one chord is sustained after the underlying harmony has changed, creating a moment of harmonic tension before the note 'resolves'. It's well-loved by choirs all over the world, and if you don't know it in this version then you may well have heard or sung it to the alternative text 'Tu es Petrus'.

Maidens, willow branches wear, say she died true.
Her love was false, but she was firm.
Upon her buried body lie lightly, thou gentle earth.

Komm, Jesu, komm, mein Leib ist müde,
die Kraft verschwind’t je mehr und mehr,
ich sehne mich nach deinem Friede;
der saure Weg wird mir zu schwer!
Komm, komm, ich will mich dir ergeben;
du bist der rechte Weg, die Wahrheit und das Leben.

Drum schließ ich mich in deine Hände
und sage, Welt, zu guter Nacht!
Eilt gleich mein Lebenslauf zu Ende,
ist doch der Geist wohl angebracht.
Er soll bei seinem Schöpfer schweben,
weil Jesus ist und bleibt der wahre Weg zum Leben.

[Text by Paul Thymich, 1656-1694]

---

Come, Jesus, come, my body is weary,
my strength deserts me more and more,
I yearn for thy peace;
life’s bitter path is too much for me!
Come, come, I will surrender myself to thee,
thou art the right Way, the Truth and the Life.

And so I place myself in thy hands
and bid thee, world, farewell!
Though the sands of my life are running out,
the spirit is ready.
It shall hover before its maker,
for Jesus is and remains the true way to life.

In The Bleak Midwinter - Holst - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short

Please visit lnk.to/InTheBleak and download the track to support this cause which is particularly close to our hearts. Tenebrae's Director, Nigel Short, received a cancer diagnosis and underwent major surgery in 2022. He says:

“ I was unexpectedly diagnosed with bowel cancer, which was a real shock for me, my family and everyone around us. The NHS responded quickly, getting me in for a successful operation within a few weeks of my diagnosis, and I’m pleased and relieved to say that I’m now officially in remission. We wanted to do something to support the amazing work that Cancer Research UK does to support everyone affected by cancer. Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for those who are fighting the disease themselves, and for those who have recently lost a loved one or are caring for friends and family. All proceeds from downloads of 'In the bleak midwinter' will be donated to Cancer Research UK. Please consider downloading it today to support the vital work that this wonderful charity does every day of the year.”

TENEBRAE IN REHEARSAL: Byrd - Ne irascaris, Domine

Tenebrae Choir 2022-05-20 | Here we are rehearsing Williams Byrd’s Ne irascaris, Domine before a performance for KLANGVOKAL Musikfestival, Dortmund. Byrd was a devout Catholic living in a newly Protestant England following the Reformation. While many other Catholics suffered torture and execution during this tumultuous period, Byrd is said to have escaped persecution because he was a favourite composer of Queen Elizabeth I. One of his most well-loved motets, the text of Ne irascaris (and its second part, Civitas sancti tui) is a metaphor for England's abandonment of the Catholic Church.

Filmed in rehearsal at St. Marienkirche, Dortmund in May 2022.
