An unforgettable 21st-century classic: an evocative choral and spiritual journey inspired by the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela.

The road to Santiago del Compostela is one of the world’s great pilgrimage routes; it’s also a journey through time and the spirit, and a voyage into the timeless soul of European culture itself. For Joby Talbot – the innovative composer of scores ranging from The League of Gentlemen to Alice in Wonderland – inspiration struck “in Leon Cathedral while the sun was setting…I thought of a lux aeterna”. The result was Path of Miracles: a huge, endlessly rich choral pilgrimage to Santiago, composed in 2005 for Nigel Short and the virtuoso voices of Tenebrae – who now return, 17 years on, to a work that has already become a 21^st century classic.
