Night Lights

Night Lights is the first choral EP from composer John Barber and Fourth Window ensemble. Using 8 solo voices its four tracks journey from the twinkling lights of a city at dusk to the dawn of a new day. Setting texts by contemporary writers Inua Ellams and Hazel Gould and traditional words from The Song of Songs, this is an intimate and, at times, epic exploration of night time – a place of solitude, wonder and unexpected connections. Conducted by Sarah Latto, John’s music is direct and confessional – with echoes of Steve Reich, James Macmillan and Bjork – a fresh new voice in contemporary choral music.
