Sacred sounds of Victoria and Poulenc.

Prepare to encounter moments of exquisite tenderness as Harry Christophers takes you on a voyage of breathtaking vocal works. This all-choral, a capella program explores the works of Tomás Luis de Victoria — one of the most significant Renaissance composers — and witty hedonist Francis Poulenc. Their sacred music, although separated by some three hundred years, possesses similar traits of compassion and fervency.
