Victimae paschali: Music for Eastertide (2009)

Saturday, 9 May 2009, 8 pm
Xavier College Chapel, Barkers Road, Kew

Subscription Concert 2

Following three years of Passiontide observance we turn our attention this year to a High Renaissance Easter celebration. This is also our first concert in three years to feature music by Nicolas Gombert. In addition to three of his motets, including the twelve voice Regina caeli laetare that has been one of our signature pieces over the years, we are singing the great six-voice Easter Mass, whose final Agnus Dei also ventures into twelve parts.
