About
‘LUX’ is a luminous selection of pieces spanning over 400 years: from Thomas Tallis and Gregorio Allegri to Massive Attack (Teardrop) and Ben Folds (The Luckiest - which appeared on the soundtrack for Richard Curtis’s film About Time) sung . The album includes popular classics such as Allegri’s Miserere and Elgar’s Nimrod along with Paul Mealor’s Ubi Caritas, commissioned by Prince William, which was sung at the Prince’s wedding to Catherine Middleton in 2011.
