A great mystery
Associate Conductor of The Sixteen and co-host of the podcast series Choral Chihuahua, Eamonn Dougan, returns to lead University Choir and The 24 in a delightfully festive programme. Experience Elgar’s rarely heard A Christmas Greeting (written while the composer was thinking fondly of snowy England while staying in Rome in December 1907), Finzi's magical choral poem In Terra Pax and evergreen Vaughan Williams. The programme also features three very different settings of O magnum mysterium (the ‘great mystery’ that animals should see the newborn infant in the manger) from Victoria’s sublime Christmas motet published in sixteenth-century Venice to captivating contemporary settings by Morten Lauridsen and Joanna Marsh.
