Description Written for voices and a dark mixture of low strings and guitar, Gavin Bryars showcases his virtuosic chamber ensemble in a lavish concert across musical settings, from 12th century sacred texts and Irish translations of Italian sonnets to his contemporary
poetic collaborators. Renowned for his contemporary and minimalist composition, Bryars’ collection of laude and madrigals illustrates a subtle and seemingly effortless blend of influences and the rich harmony of his musical sources.
