IN The Dark includes James MacMillan's stunning Miserere and specially commissioned works by Richard Bates, Platinum's composer in residence. These contemporary works are juxtaposed -- yet inextricably linked -- with choral music by Lassus, Victoria, Purcell and Lotti. The title work, Bates' In The Dark, encapsulates The poignancy of Holy Week, with a new setting of The Tudor poem 'You that have spent The silent night' by George Gascoigne (1525-1577).

In Darkness, and secure,
by The secret ladder, disguised,
—ah, The sheer grace!—
in Darkness and concealment,
my house being now all stilled.
On that glad night, in secret,
for no one saw me,
nor did I look at anything,
with no oTher light or guide
than The one that burned in my heart.
- St. John of The Cross (1542-1592)
