The Town Lay Hushed

With The Town Lay Hushed, we aim to push ourselves, exploring a different style of singing that lies at the roots of the contemporary music we love so much. This program includes Christmas and Advent music spanning nearly 400 years, all of which heavily influenced the choral music written today. It’s fitting that we begin the concert with Tomás Luis de Victoria, one of the most celebrated composers of the Renaissance period, who, along with Byrd and Tallis, deeply shaped the the way Western composers write for the voice to this day. We hope you enjoy this exploration of our choral roots.
