    Overview

    Music has been used to outline and enhance sacredspace and time for millennia.

    The Cardinall’s Musickand Andrew Carwood explore sacred compositionsfrom two periods, past and present, rich in worksinformed by a profound feeling for something greaterthan the individual self. Their programme pairs thepristine soundworlds of Arvo Pärt and Byrd, Gibbonsand Tavener, and presents a new score by Nico Muhly.
