Navidad: Christmas in Spain

  • Wesley Uniting Church 20-22 National Circuit Forrest, ACT, 2603 Australia (map)

The famous collection of Cantigas de Santa Maria encapsules all of the fiery mystery of Spanish music - after 800 years still as earthy and seductive as ever. Forged out of Jewish, Arab and Christian traditions, they are the necessary foil to the rich canvas of Spain’s Golden Age polyphony.

Program:
Selection of Cantigas de Santa maria, attr. Alfonso X (1221-1284)
Motets by Victoria, Guerrero and Morales.
