Musiques Funèbres

Heinrich Schütz, Thomas Morley and Henry Purcell explore the themes of death and mourning in a programme combining spiritual depth, solemn restraint and powerful ceremonial music. From Schütz’s profound simplicity to Purcell’s grand Funeral Music for Queen Mary, the programme offers a moving reflection on grief, remembrance and Christian hope.
