Programme
Overview
Step into Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers, where ancient chant meets Baroque brilliance. Vox Luminis, under Lionel Meunier’s direction, pairs one voice per part with period instruments to illuminate the Latin evening prayer in vivid, reverent sound.Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 reinvented the Latin service of evening prayer by weaving the grandeur of Renaissance polyphony with the emerging drama of the early Baroque. Under the deft hand of Lionel Meunier, Vox Luminis pairs one voice per part with a lean ensemble of viols, cornetts, and harpsichord to summon a sound world that is both intimate and majestic. Each psalm and motet unfolds in rich contrast—tender passages of hushed devotion give way to jubilant fanfares resonating with radiant energy. The singers’ crystalline precision and the instrumentalists’ refined elegance breathe fresh life into every line of Monteverdi’s score, inviting listeners into an immersive evening of sacred splendor. This performance stands as a living testament to one of Western music’s most profound achievements.
