Reflections 2 - Lamento | Nos Miseri Homines

Following an inspiring performance of Bach Magnificat in Chichester Cathedral, the singers of Nos Miseri Homines are once again joining instrumental ensemble three parts vied for Reflections - a series of concerts for Lent. Featuring outstanding instrumentalists and singers performing powerful and evocative music in beautiful surroundings.

For our second concert, three parts vied weave trio sonatas by Buxtehude with impassioned meditations by Rosenmüller and Biber for countertenor, culminating in Schmelzer’s astonishing celebration of the life of Ferdinand III. The viola da gamba provides a central thread, partnering with voice, violin, and viola in turn.
