The Veil of the Temple (The Choir of the Temple Church & The Holst Singers feat. soprano Patricia Rozario, conductor: Stephen Layton)

Album by John Tavener

The Veil of the Temple is a live album of John Tavener's choral work released in 2003. The recording presents an extended, devotional choral composition rooted in Orthodox liturgical traditions, characterised by sustained sonorities, layered vocal textures and repetitive, meditative motifs that exemplify Tavener's late-period focus on sacred minimalism and contemplative scale.
