Programme Note
There are many parallels which can be drawn between the three emotional and devotional works brought together for this concert. Firmly steeped in the Gregorian and early polyphonic traditions, these modern choral masterpieces blend the past with the present in a thrilling fashion. The intensity of the music and the intimacy of the unaccompanied voices have the power to inspire deep and spiritual emotions.
