Tenebrae: Brahms and Bruckner Motets

Performance:
7.30PM Friday, 24th September 2021
Genre:

Of the major 19th century composers who largely refrained from composing in the motet style, Brahms and Bruckner are significant exceptions. Though both Brahms and Bruckner’s motets are inconceivable without the influence of the 16th and 17th centuries, they are nonetheless idiomatic to the composers’ styles.

Seamlessly entwining old and new this programme, devised from the BBC Music Magazine award-winning album, showcases these masterpieces of the sacred style in the 19th century.

Tenebrae
