HIDDEN HARMONIES
Prepare to be drawn into the sacred sound world of William Byrd, perhaps England’s greatest Renaissance composer. Evoking the intimate and clandestine setting of a Catholic mass in Reformation England, the concert will present some of Byrd’s most sublime choral works. These are pieces imbued with the poignant longing of a man unable to openly express his faith.
Music by William Byrd and Thomas Tallis
Guest Ensemble: Ensemble Edesse
Justine Rapaccioli, Director
