    Overview

    Lionel Meunier’s Vox Luminis brings a wealth of fresh ideas and insights to its Purcell interpretations,informed by extensive experience of performing works by the composer’s Central Europeancontemporaries and deep immersion in his music.

    The ensemble presents a programme of sacredsongs and anthems by Henry Purcell and his teacher John Blow, concluding with the majestic verseanthem My heart is inditing, written for and first performed at the Coronation of James II in 1685.
