Programme Note
Spain’s Siglo de Oro, the Age of Gold, gave rise to some of the greatest sacred choral music of the Renaissance. The majestic music of the Spanish Renaissance will be the theme of our 2026 Choral Pilgrimage programme, 'Lead, kindly light.' This year's series features works from Cristóbal de Morales, famed throughout Europe and in the New World, and the exquisite polyphony of Sebastián de Vivánco.
Our programme also features spellbinding settings of words by Saint John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan’s Nothing in Vain. This was commissioned in 2021 by the Genesis Foundation for Harry Christopher. There is also the world premiere of Kerensa Briggs’ Lead, kindly light, specially commissioned for the Choral Pilgrimage.
