Background: Using erotic imagery to describe his religious devotion may have enraged the fellow monks of St John of the Cross, but such language has certainly inspired vivid and colourful music. The St Louis Chamber Chorus, one of America's most established choirs, presents premier recordings of his poems set to music by Carlos Surinach, a longtime collaborator of choreographer Martha Graham. These are contrasted with versions by Geoffrey Burgon, Alan Ridout, Clare Maclean & Sasha Johnson Manning. Such intense pieces are complemented by motets from a Renaissance contemporary of the saint, Tomás Luis de Victoria, who like St John also hailed from the Spanish city of Avila.
