An educational programme featuring early music.
Puer Natus est, music for the Christmas period. In this programme, two works by Thomas Tallis are central. The antiphon ‘Ave, Dei Patris filia’ and the ‘Missa Puer natus est nobis’. These are alternated with parts from the Rosenkranz sonatas by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber.
