Authentic. Original. Utterly spellbinding. Founded by composer Antony Pitts at New College, Oxford, to record Music for a Large Audience, TONUS PEREGRINUS exists at the intersection of ancient tradition and radical originality. Known for pristine recordings and genre-defying performances, the ensemble has earned international acclaim, from their landmark debut – the Gramophone Editor’s Choice and Cannes Classical Award-winning Arvo Pärt: Passio – to their latest immersive album One Equal Music, a seamless 75-minute sonic journey. With standout reviews in BBC Music Magazine, Fanfare, Gramophone, and The Telegraph describing the group as “utterly beguiling“, "gloriously sung”, and “heatedly recommended”, their catalogue includes Alpha and Omega, The Naxos Book of Carols, and Seven Letters & Other Sacred Music (Gramophone Editor’s Choice), alongside a groundbreaking “Milestones of Western Music” series for Naxos featuring the earliest known polyphony, Leonin / Perotin: Sacred Music From Notre-Dame Cathedral, the first musical comedy, Adam De La Halle: Le Jeu De Robin Et De Marion, the earliest polyphonic settings of the Mass and the Passion, Mass of Tournai / St Luke Passion, Sweet Harmony – Dunstable: Quam Pulchra Es / Veni Sancte Spiritus / Mass Movements, a re-invention of the first English hymnbook, Gibbons: Hymnes and Songs of the Church, and the jewel of early Tudor sacred repertoire, Music from The Eton Choirbook. Over three decades of Old Masters later, TONUS PEREGRINUS continues to redefine sacred sound for the modern ear.
