This album introduces a collection of reflective and transcendent music inspired by the night. It features a mix of choral classics and contemporary arrangements, including new choral versions of popular works by Ludovico Einaudi, Sigur Rós, Koji Kondo, and Max Richter.
This exquisite collection of songs, celebrating a diverse range of composers from the worlds of film, game, alternative, and contemporary classical music, showcases VOCES8’s unique style and versatility. The recording also features world premiere works from British composer and 2024 Classic FM Rising Star Lucy Walker, as well as US composer and regular collaborator, Taylor Scott Davis, known for ‘dreamy vocal lines’. ‘Nightfall’ opens and closes with contemplative psalm settings by South Korean composer Jaeil Jung, known for his work on Squid Game and Parasite.
