Movements from Brumel's Earthquake Mass as part of Nature Unwrapped.
The world-renowned choral choir performs movements from Brumel's Earthquake Mass as part of Nature Unwrapped.
World-renowned choral choir The Sixteen, bring us movements from Brumel's astonishing Earthquake Mass as part of Nature Unwrapped at Kings Place. Simulating the phenomenon of trembling land, Brumel creates textures that literally seem to shake, impressing and overwhelming the listener with a surfeit of sound, in the same way that elemental forces can fill us with awe. In contrast, Josquin's O virgo Prudentissima evokes images of craggy rocks and dark whirlwinds, while Lassus's Aurora lucis rutilat (Latin for 'Dawn reddens with light') creates a truly spectacular display of choral fireworks. This is a Magnificat guaranteed to make the earth resound.
