A recital of choral music commemorating the wartime destruction of Dresden and Hiroshima, and the cry of the persecuted Catholic mourning the loss of the spiritual Jerusalem in a violently Protestant England. Featuring Byrd’s haunting Civitas sancti tui, Mauersberger’s hymn of mourning to his beloved Dresden Wie liegt die Stadt, and Jack Body’s anguished setting of Psalm 137 (By the waters of Babylon), his last commissioned work for The Tudor Consort.
