Programme
Overview
From Palestrina and Byrd to Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Blake Morgan, ancient carols and new reflections mingle in a candlelit Advent concert. The Gesualdo Six trace a musical path through Christmas, blending Renaissance polyphony with modern arrangements. Experience familiar melodies reborn in pure vocal harmony.In this evocative programme, The Gesualdo Six journey through centuries of Christmas music. They open with the interwoven polyphony of Renaissance masters Palestrina, Lassus and Byrd before embracing the distinctive voices of contemporary composers Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Blake Morgan. At its heart lies Advent, that season of waiting and anticipation, where ancient hymns and carols sit alongside new reflections on the Nativity. Timeless melodies appear in their familiar forms and in inventive modern arrangements, guiding listeners from moments of quiet, candlelit devotion to bursts of festive joy. The ensemble’s pure vocal harmonies weave a luminous tapestry that reimagines the festive season in all its solemn beauty and elation.
