Welcome back to the second half of the Autumn Term! As we gear up towards the Autumn Concert and then Christmas, we start to celebrate the beauty of the human voice and its power when expressing choral music with lush harmonies. Up-and-coming British Composer, Karensa Briggs, is taking the music world by storm and has recently written the haunting and expansive ‘Media Vita’, using material from the original Gregorian plainchant. Performed by the world-class Voces8, this piece inspired by John Sheppard’s centuries old version of the same name, but with modern twists and an intensity that provides something different to the beautiful meditative sonority. Enjoy!
