Owain Park, the director of The Gesualdo Six, is also a composer, conductor, singer, and organist.
The Gesualdo Six is a vocal consort formed in March 2014 for a performance of Gesualdo's Tenebrae Responsories for Maundy Thursday.
The album is structured to reflect a transition from light to darkness, with a turning point where light, birdsong, and blooming flowers return.
The album's concept is inspired by the ancient service of Compline, which marks the end of the day and the transition into night.
The Gesualdo Six has performed over 150 times in its first five years and has toured internationally.
This album was recorded in St George's Church, Chesterton, Cambridge, over three days in February 2019.
