The music of the Spanish Renaissance is the focus of this year’s tour, ‘Lead, Kindly Light’. From sadness to great rejoicing, the wealth of emotions is captured beautifully in selected works by Crisóbal de Morales and Sebastián de Vivanco. This year’s tour takes it’s title from a poem by Saint John Henry Newman - a personal plea for divine guidance during times of uncertainty and personal crisis. Kerensa Briggs explores these emotions in her piece specially commissioned for this year’s tour, complemented by James MacMillan’s emotive setting of Newman’s words ‘Nothing in Vain’.
