National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology, Saturday 20th June
The Museum will welcome Cantoral, a female vocal ensemble, to perform a selection of pieces in the reception area of the Museum to mark the Summer Solstice on Saturday 20th of June.
Inspired by the collections at Kildare Street, Cantoral will perform a short programme of medieval chant, song and polyphony that celebrates the Irish saints and Irish medieval musical heritage. The programme will include Letabundus decantet hibernicorum, a prosa for St Patrick from the 14th-century Dublin troper, Virgo decoratur, a chant from Office for St Brigid, found in a 15th-century Irish breviary, and Ecclesie pastores, an antiphon for St Gall, dating back to the 10th century (if not earlier), among many others.
Cantoral is a female vocal ensemble specialising in western plainchant and medieval polyphony, with a particular interest in repertoire from and connected with Ireland.
