An Advent Calendar

Sunday 6 December 2026 - 7.30pm

Our Lady and St Michael's Catholic Church, Pen-y-pound, Abergavenny NP7 5UD

A revelatory sequence of choral gems that capture the expectations of the season.

The expectations of the season will be vividly captured in this revelatory sequence of choral gems.The programme will encompass everything from the sonic tapestry of Tudor polyphony to the visionary soundscapes of contemporary composers.
Here are some stunning pieces both old and new with composers such as William Byrd, John Sheppard and Josquin des Prez heard alongside Arvo Pärt, Eric Whitacre and Sir John Tavener.

Amongst the concert's highlights will be one of the greatest settings of the Magnificat by the C16th composer Robert Parsons and a homage to St. Nicholas by Arvo Pärt.
Other intriguing pieces include some multilayered motets by John Sheppard (1515-1559), with their more than three-octave vocal range, and the virtuosic writing of the Renaissance trailblazer, Josquin.

Other specific settings are:
Byrd: Vigilate; Whitacre: Lux Aurumque; Jonathan Dove: Seek Him That Maketh The Seven Stars; William Mathias: Alleluya, A New Work is Come on Hand

This is certainly something to sing about! Do join us!

Doors open 40 minutes before the concert begins.
