The Path of Miracles - Joby Talbot

International Record Review: outstanding.

Path of Miracles, for a cappella choir, was commissioned by Tenebrae from Joby Talbot and premiered 2005. The work is based on the most enduring route of Catholic pilgimage - the great Pilgrimage to Santiago. The four movements of Path of Miracles are titled with the names of the four main staging posts of the 'Camino Frances', the central axis of a network of pilgrimage routes to Santiago.
Robert Dickinson constructed a libretto of inspired reflections on the pilgrimage juxtaposed with extant mediaeval texts.
