Londinium
Programme Note
For its first concert of 2022, Londinium offers an atmospheric sequence of sacred music, charting a course from the desperation of Byrd's Miserere mei Deus to the catharsis of John Rutter's Hymn to the Creator of Light. Our programme includes John Sheppard's twin settings of Libera nos, amongst the finest music of the English Renaissance, and superb works by Schütz and Tomkins in their anniversary years. Punctuating this emotional journey are the movements of Rheinberger's luscious Eb major Mass for Double Choir: music written - and performed - from the heart.
Tickets include a complementary programme booklet.
The concert will last for about one hour, without an interval.
