Description

The Company’s vocal ensemble Bampton Classical Voices make a welcome return to Bampton for this seasonal event, directed by Andrew Griffith

The centrepiece of the programme is the wonderful eight-voice Missa Joseph fili David by Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla, a Spaniard who spent much of his career working at Puebla Cathedral in Mexico. Alongside the mass there are performances of motets and villancicos (Spanish-language carols) by other composers who worked in the New World, including Antonio de Salazar, and the Mexican-born Francisco López Capillas and Gaspar Fernandes. Our programme is completed by works from the libraries of the great Mexican cathedrals by such Spanish masters as Victoria, Guerrero and Vivanco.
