The Protecting Veil / Wake Up... And Die

Album by John Tavener & Yo‐Yo Ma & Baltimore Symphony Orchestra & David Zinman

The Protecting Veil / Wake Up... And Die is an album by English composer John Tavener, released in 1989. It pairs Tavener's contemplative, late-20th-century classical idiom—marked by sustained modal melodies, chant-like inflections and expansive string and choral textures—with a contrasting, more dramatic text-driven work, reflecting his deepening engagement with spiritual and theatrical expression in the later phase of his career.
