Lux Tenera/A Rite To Joy

Description

In an extraordinary convergence of sonic innovation and orchestral mastery, Sebastian Lee Philipp, the visionary behind Die Wilde Jagd, is set to unveil his most ambitious project to date: Lux Tenera - A Rite to Joy. Commissioned by the Roadburn Festival for its 2024 edition, this work is the result of a rare collaboration with the Metropole Orkest, three-time Grammy Award winners. Lux Tenera invites listeners on a meditative exploration of life, joy, and the beauty of existence.The composition premiered on April 21, 2024, in Tilburg, Netherlands, following an intense three-day rehearsal and recording session at the Metropole Orkest's studio in Hilversum. This performance, now captured on the album, also marks a unique collaboration with British arranger and conductor Simon Dobson, whose sensitive transcription and arrangement of Philipp's music for orchestra elevate the work to an auditory spectacle.
