Credits
Stile Antico
The complete Christmas narrative unfolds. The musical heritage of the Renaissance is so rich that a masterpiece was practically composed for every event. Stile Antico delves into the scores of composers like Schütz, Praetorius, Byrd, Victoria and Lasso. ‘It’s never a good idea to miss a concert from this British vocal ensemble,’ wrote the New York Times, ‘there are no finer singers of early music.’
From advent and the annunciation to the nativity, from the visit of the shepherds and the adoration of the three kings to Candlemas – step by step we follow the old Christmas story. It will be a feast of music. Not only from the Renaissance, like Victoria’s intimate O magnum mysterium and exciting motets by Byrd, but also carols from the Middle Ages. Plus irresistible Spanish and German dances.
