The program features two large works for choir and organ by American composer Nico Muhly. Our Present Charter celebrates the sealing in 1215 of the Magna Carta in four movements and Bright Mass with Canons pays homage to traditional English choral music through Muhly’s own take on the sound world of Tudor music and Herbert Howells. Connecting Muhly’s pieces is a setting of the Beatitudes by Arvo Pärt which Muhly also set as the third movement in Our Present Charter.
