Candens Lilium: Vox Resonat Goes Medieval
8:00 PM on Friday, May 18, 2012
Central Lutheran Church, 18th and Potter, Eugene

Vox Resonat, an ensemble of vocal solists directed by Eric Mentzel, presents a concert of rarely-heard medieval music for the first time in Eugene. The program title, Candens Lilium, evokes the image of the white lily to which the Virgin was often compared. The ensemble consists of 10 vocalists who sing together or in various smaller combinations. Repertoire includes music from Notre Dame de Paris, medieval Aquitaine, the Old Hall Manuscript and from the Spanish convent of Las Huelgas, as well as Italian laude, English carols, and motets from 14th century France.

Whether you come for the contemplative conductus or the ecstatic organa, there is no better way to celebrate Mary's month.

Suggested donation: $10 / $5 for students and senior citizens.
