Sixteen
Programme Note
The Sixteen's ever-popular annual Christmas concert features much-loved works by Byrd, Lauridsen, Palestrina and Victoria.
The chant 'O Magnum Mysterium' is often recited at Mass on Christmas morning. The Sixteen explore how each of these composers has set it to music.
With carols for all including Peter Warlock's popular choral anthem Bethlehem Down, this is the perfect way to enter into the spirit of Christmas.
