Tenebrae

Tenebrae

Tenebrae has been played on NTS in shows including Tafelmusik w/ Francesco Fusaro, featured first on 7 October 2020. Songs played include Leon, Requiem, Op. 48 (1893 Version) and Friede Auf Erden, Op. 13.

1) A professional chamber choir, founded and directed by Nigel Short.

Often performing by candlelight, the choir creates an atmosphere of spiritual and musical reflection, where medieval chant and renaissance works are interspersed with contemporary works. The carefully selected team of singers uses the acoustic and atmosphere of the building to enable the audience to experience the power and intimacy of the human voice at its best.

Singers are drawn from outstanding musical backgrounds – King’s College Cambridge, Westminster Abbey and Cathedral, St Paul’s Cathedral, The Royal Opera House Covent Garden and English National Opera – to create a unique vocal mix with an extraordinary range of vocal power and colour. It was born out of Nigel Short’s desire to bring together what he loved best in his own singing career - namely the passionate sounds of large Cathedral choirs and the precision of ensembles like The King’s Singers – to create a new kind of choral group. http://www.tenebrae-choir.com/diary/

2) Finnish Death Metal band with a twist of … just listen to it!

3) Electronic artist on Extreme records in Australia, consisting of Shane Fahey and Jamie Fielding.

4) Black metal band formed in Montreal, Que., Canada. Released one album entitled ‘The Mist Soften My Sorrow” in 1996 shortly before splitting up. Some members went on to form Frozen Shadows and Porno Coma.

5) Black Metal from Portugal, no longer active. Founded in 1994, their only release is a demo from 2003

6) Japanese Loud Kei Band. They have been active since 2024, previously using the name KOKORO NO YAMI (ココロノヤミ) . The current lineup consists on Reito on vocals, Mave and Daiki on guitars, Shiro on Bass, and Do on drums. Former members were drummer Kaito who leaves the band for health reasons and guitarist Nagi has gone on indefinite hiatus from the band. https://tenebrae.ryzm.jp
