About This Event
Spain’sSiglo de oro, the ‘Age of Gold’, gave rise to some of the greatest sacred choral music of the Renaissance. The Sixteen explore majestic works by Cristóbal de Morales, famed throughout Europe and in the New World, and the exquisite polyphony of Sebastián de Vivánco, whose intricately crafted counterpoint adorned services at the cathedrals of Ávila and Salamanca. The programme also features spellbinding settings of words by St John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan’sNothing in vain, and the world premiere of NCEM Composers Award alumna Kerensa Briggs’sLead, kindly light.
