Gothic Voices: Stella Maris - Virga Jesse

Part of the Three Choirs Festival 2018

Add to my Calendar 04-08-2018 14:30 04-08-2018 16:30 36 Gothic Voices: Stella Maris - Virga Jesse This programme marries music from two of Gothic Voices’ most celebrated recordings. For centuries the figure of Mary has deeply captivated the devotees of European religious culture. This programme explores this fascination through the eyes of both men and women. Ancient liturgical texts and poems explore Mary’s various mythical and human aspects, set to music by masters of medieval England, and offset by contemporary responses to these themes on the one hand, and introduced and reflected on by the celebrated Hildegard of Bingen, writing in the 12th century, on the other.  Leominster Priory Church, Leominster DD/MM/YYYY
