| The Latin text O Magnum Mysterium is the theme for Voces Novae et Antiquae's all a cappella 12th Night series of concerts January 3, 6, & 7 in Glenside and Philadelphia. The featured early works on this program are the famous O Magnum Mysterium motet setting of Tomas Luis da Victoria paired with his *Missa "O Magnum Mysterium" which incorporates musical material from his motet. William Byrd's setting of O Magnum Mysterium will also be heard, along with Adrian Willaert's Mirabile Mysterium and a miniature Glory to God by early American composer Jeremiah Ingalls. The program will also feature three encores from 12th Night 2006: Artistic Director Robert Ross' arrangement of The Boar's Head Carol for men's voices, Lesley Hopwood Meyer's The Chester Processional arranged by Robert Ross for women's voices, and Abbie Burt Betinis' Song of the Pines. The program rounds out with Advent and Christmas works by Josef Rheinberger, Benjamin Britten, Fred Thayer, and William Walton. |
