Album Description

The Spanish Mystics were major figures in the Catholic Reformation in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. Their attempts to express in words their experience of a mystical communion with Christ produced some exquisite poetry and writings which went on to influence and shape the Spanish language.

O Guiding night is the fascinating result of The Sixteen’s second major collaboration with the Genesis Foundation and features six new works by Tarik O’Regan, Roderick Williams and Ruth Byrchmore, all inspired by the poetry of two principals of The Spanish Mystics movement - St. Teresa of Ávila and St. John of the Cross.
