“If you want to escape the usual seasonal fare completely, you could do no better than Mediaeval Carols. Opus Anglicanum presents a feast of words and music of the very highest quality’”
“One of the UK’s Top 10 Carol Concerts”
Experience a candlelit journey into the spiritual heart of a medieval Christmas. Following on from their sell-out appearance last year, Opus Anglicanum return to Newbury with their most popular Christmas concert Mediaeval Carols. From simple Gregorian chant and devotional polyphony to joyous & raucous Christmas songs (some of which are over 800 years old), hear beautiful mediaeval readings interspersed within the music creating peaceful moments of quiet reflection.
Tickets £20. Early booking advised.
“Every item is a distinctive delight, beautifully sung, interspersed with perfectly judged readings.”
Join Opus Anglicanum on a Christmas journey 800 years back in time, visiting spellbinding music and words from our mediaeval past. Masterworks include Perotin’s spell-binding solo Beata viscera, and Obrecht’s dazzling Factor orbis. Our readings, performed by Zeb Soanes, invite the listener to encounter great mediaeval spiritual thinkers, poets and artists, spanning a thousand years to illuminate the surrounding music.
Presented on two CDs, one containing both music and readings and the other, music only.
