Here is the opening of the Nunc Dimittis from Byrd’s Fauxbourdon canticles, which trace the chant melody throughout (Tone 1, 8). Later this week, the first in a new series of complines will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Join us on Thursday 1 December at 11pm as we take to the air with late-night meditative music. 🕯 #choral #choralmusic #singing #acappella #g6 #voices #classical #classicalmusic #choir #vocal #meditation #oldisgold #chant #plainchant #byrd #compline | The Gesualdo Six

Here is a beautiful new setting of the Nunc Dimittis in Latin, written for us by Donna McKevitt. The stunning images were taken by photographer, Ash Mills in Salisbury Cathedral. #isolationcreation​ Find out more about the composer: https://donnamckevitt.org Find out more about the series: https://www.thegesualdosix.co.uk/isolation-creation/ | The Gesualdo Six
