Brightest Star: choral music for Advent Londinium (chamber choir)

  • Holy Sepulchre London Holborn Viaduct London, EC1A 2FD United Kingdom (map)

The sumptuous 'Missa Vox clamantis' by the Portuguese Renaissance composer Duarte Lobo, based on a lost Advent motet, forms the spine of Londinium's irresistible festive programme. Woven between its movements are fine recent compositions by Jonathan Dove, Kerensa Briggs, Francis Pott, Joanna Marsh, Bob Chilcott, Judith Weir, and Cecilia McDowall, whose powerful 'Brightest Star' recounts Christmas hope in the bleak setting of the occupied Channel Islands. Our programme is completed by classic works by Gustav Holst, Elizabeth Poston and Andrew Carter, and by Jamie W. Hall's beautiful 'O Nata Lux', performed as part of #ChoirsAgainstCancer in aid of Macmillan Cancer Care.
