Step into a world of luminous choral sound as Anima Musica, under the direction of Francis Guerard, presents ‘’O Magnum Mysterium’’, a concert that spans centuries and celebrates the wonder of the season.
From the shimmering polyphony of Renaissance masters Josquin, Step into a world of luminous choral sound as Anima Musica, under the direction of Francis Victoria, and Gabrieli to the Romantic warmth of Mendelssohn and Brahms, and the vivid colors of Britten, Holst, and Poulenc, this program is a journey through time and spirit.
Seasonal treasures anchor the evening: Poulenc’s Quatre motets pour le temps de Noël and Holst’s beloved In the bleak midwinter evoke both mystery and tenderness, while jubilant works like Bouzignac’s Jubilate Deo and Bach’s Lobet den Herrn ring out with celebration.
Balancing sacred devotion with playful joy, even Poulenc’s Chansons à boire remind us of music’s power to delight.
This concert offers more than a performance — it is an experience of beauty, wonder, and connection. Whether in the hush of O magnum mysterium or the exuberance of Hodie Christus natus est,
Anima Musica invites you to share in the timeless gift of voices joined together in song.
