"All eight voices blend together exquisitely to haunting and beautiful effect and the repertoire is perfectly chosen."

- Limelight
Voces8 is one of Britain’s finest vocal ensembles. Their 2014 album Eventide is a collection of pieces devoted to reflection, inner peace and musical repose. The album combines original compositions and new arrangements to create a compelling programme infused with the meditative spirit of sacred chant. The eight young singers of Voces8 perform everything from early medieval plainsong to an uplifting transcription of John Williams’s Hymn to the Fallen from his Grammy-winning soundtrack to Saving Private Ryan. The album’s seductive mix of rich vocal harmonies and haunting melodies for solo cello, harp and saxophone brings a fresh contemporary edge to Voces8. Eventide highlights include two ethereal pieces by Patrick Hawes, Reflexionem and Quanta Qualia, a stunning performance of Karl Jenkins’s popular Benedictus, Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium, Eric Whitacre’s The Seal Lullaby and a Harvey Brough arrangement of Britten’s Corpus Christi Carol. Voces8 also explores the hymn-like qualities of two contemporary songs with a cappella arrangements of Emeli Sandé’s Where I Sleep and Kate Rusby’s Underneath the Stars. Eventide will appeal to choral fans and anyone with an interest in spiritual music.
