From the ethereal beauty of Thomas Tallis’s O nata lux to the luminous harmonies of James MacMillan’s O radiant dawn, this programme traces a journey from quiet anticipation to the wonder of the Nativity.
Featuring music by composers including Victoria, Howells and Lucy Walker, the programme moves between moments of intimate reflection, rich polyphony and luminous contemporary writing. Each piece offers a fresh perspective on the Christmas story, inviting listeners to pause, reflect and immerse themselves in the beauty of the season.
