Nico Muhly and The Tallis Scholars present "No Resting Place", a collection of world premiere recordings of works that Muhly has written for The Tallis Scholars over the past 10 years at the invitation of their conductor Peter Phillips. Phillips says that Muhly "immediately understood our particular sound. A series of masterpieces followed, each more impressive than the last."
The title work, "No Resting Place," is a setting of Jeremiah's Lamentations interspersed with contemporary interviews with people of the Windrush generation. "Recordare, Domine" also sets texts from the Lamentations to music, while "Marrow" is a setting of Psalm 63. "Rough Notes" draws on Captain Scott's diary about his doomed mission to Antarctica with cool textures, strict counterpoint and unstable harmonies. "Prosperitie" was written to celebrate Peter Phillips' 70th birthday, and "A Glorious Creature" extols the glory of the soul. This album marks the beginning of a new collaboration between The Tallis Scholars and Linn.
