The Protecting Veil

Album by John Tavener & Rudolf Werthen & I Fiamminghi

The Protecting Veil is an album-length composition by English composer John Tavener, released in 1989. The work juxtaposes a solo cello with string orchestra in a meditative, chant-influenced tonal language rooted in Orthodox Christian spirituality and marks a movement in Tavener's output toward extended, devotional minimalism in his later career.
