——————————————————————————————————
The Gesualdo Six, directed by Owain Park, perform a diverse selection of works for the festive season, juxtaposing modern works by composers including Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Jonathan Harvey with renaissance masterpieces by Byrd and Praetorius. The concert features Thomas Tallis’s Videte Miraculum, a choral respond which exhibits plainchant both in a solo capacity and as part of a beautifully woven six-part polyphonic texture. The group will also perform a setting of Francis Quarles’s On the Infancy of our Saviour, set to music by the group’s Director, alongside arrangements by Brian Kay and Philip Lawson.
