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.
