Concert program
Christus Principium
et Finis
Christ the beginning and the end. These words, spoken during the Liturgy of Light, become a symbol of passage from darkness to light, from death to life.
"Christus principium et finis" is a sacred music concert tracing the events of the liturgical year. The expectant music of Advent and Christmas gives way to Lenten songs steeped in suffering, only to conclude with a joyful Easter Alleluia.
The repertoire is a kaleidoscope of Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, and 20th–21st century music.
The program includes works by
- Wacław of Szamotuły
- Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
- Carlo Gesualdo
- Giovanni Gabrieli
- Francis Poulenc
- Marek Raczyński
- John Tavener
- Nonoy Diestro
