Following the March concert in Edinburgh, the Edinburgh Singers, an inspiring Scottish choir, is bringing the O Radiant Dawn programme to Madrid. Enjoy a glorious celebration of choral, religious and folk music, in three wonderful venues in Madrid.
Join us for a celebration of British composers and their finest choral music. The concert opens with a selection of James MacMillan’s Strathclyde Motets, sacred works reflecting the composer’s deep spirituality, emotional depth and distinctive use of traditional elements. The motets are complemented by William Harris’ exquisite choral pieces Faire is the Heaven and Bring us o Lord God, Philip Stopford’s richly harmonic Ave Regina Caelorum and John Tavener’s Song for Athene, which gained worldwide recognition when it was performed at the funeral of Princess Diana.
The programme continues with a series of traditional folk songs, including Ca’ the Yowes and Londonderry Air, as well as James MacMillan’s settings of The Gallant Weaver and Lassie Wad Ye Lo’e Me?
All concerts are free, although donations are accepted.
