About "Te lucis ante terminum" by Cambridge Singers
A hymn for the dying light, 'Te lucis ante terminum' is sung with hushed urgency, each syllable a candle flickering against encroaching dark. The Cambridge Singers render the ancient text with poised, almost fragile clarity, capturing the tension between evening's calm and the primal fear of night. It's a prayer whispered at the threshold.
