Cor de Cambra Noctes

A chamber choral concert by the Cor de Cambra Noctes, conducted by Maria Mauri, with a programme of English music spanning from the Tudor court to the twentieth century.

The Cor de Cambra Noctes is made up of 16 young singers and is conducted by Maria Mauri. On this occasion it presents a programme of English music, with dances and madrigals on nature and love, as well as hymns and religious motets of great complexity.

The programme begins at the courts of Henry VIII and Mary Tudor, with pieces by William Byrd and Thomas Tallis, and continues with madrigals by John Bennet and John Farmer. It then moves forward to the early twentieth century with works by Charles Villiers Stanford, Imogen Holst, Gustav Holst and Gerald Finzi, and is completed with John Tavener.

Benjamin Britten's Hymn to St. Cecilia closes the programme and turns the concert into a tribute to St Cecilia, patron saint of music. The performance takes place at the Teatre Principal in Sabadell, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city.
