Catalog Number: SIGCD1002

This album gathers recent choral works by the British-Swiss composer Jessica Ulusoy-Horsley, performed by the celebrated vocal ensemble Tenebrae under the direction of Nigel Short. At its heart lies the large-scale The 99 Names, which sets Arabic and Aramaic texts drawn from both Islamic and Christian traditions, weaving together two spiritual worlds in sound. Engelsmusik takes its inspiration from writings on angelic music, incorporating verses by the Sufi poet Rumi alongside Greek liturgical texts and broader currents of spiritual philosophy. The programme closes with Cycle of Peace, a choral response to contemporary conflict that reflects on hope amid turmoil. Throughout, Ulusoy-Horsley's writing dwells in the spaces between sound and silence, inviting a kind of attentive stillness. Together these works form a meditation on listening and shared spiritual experience across cultures and traditions.
