Vilancicos e Natal Português
Coro de CLC
A musical journey into the imagery of Jesus’ birth, through 17th-century Iberian music and Portuguese traditional and folk songs recovered by Portuguese composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Under conductor Jorge Carvalho Alves, vilancicos and motets from the Renaissance period will be performed, along with traditional Portuguese songs collected and recorded over the years, such as in the First and Second Christmas Cantatas, by Fernando Lopes-Graça, Magnificat em talha dourada by Eurico Carrapatoso, and compositions by Fernando Lapa. In each piece, we encounter scenes depicting various episodes around Jesus’ birth, such as the Annunciation, the arrival of the shepherds, the Holy Family, and the Three Wise Men.
