Guest artists The Sixteen present The Deer's Cry, a powerful exploration of the music of two masters of sacred music, Arvo Pärt and William Byrd.
Conductor: Harry Christophers
Whilst coming from very different eras, William Byrd and Arvo Pärt are both considered masters of sacred music despite having faced considerable persecution for their work. This programme presents six of William Byrd’s works from the Cantiones Sacrae including the monumental Tribue, Domine, and the mighty eight-voice motet Ad Dominum cum tribularer. The three works by Arvo Pärt speak in his unmistakable voice, with its unique blend of ancient and modern, and include his mesmerising Nunc dimittis which is crafted in his bell-like ‘tinitinnabuli’ style.
Co-sponsored by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music and the Yale Glee Club.
