Salve Regina – A Series of Advent–tide Services Sung by Peregryne
Appropriate to Advent, Peregryne, the vocal ensemble directed by Dr Stuart Kinsella, will sing a week of music reflecting on the mother of Jesus from Sundays 14 to 21 December, including four rarely heard Salve Reginas by composers of the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
Consisting of three services in three Dublin churches, these will be sung at Compline on both Sunday 14 December at 17.30 in St Werburgh’s Church and on Friday 19 December at 17.30 in the medieval setting of St Audoen’s church. The series will conclude on Sunday 21 December at 15.00 with a theological and choral reflection on the mother of Jesus in St Saviour’s church, Dominick Street.
The works include both four and five part Salve Reginas by Josquin de Prez (c.1450/5–1521), and two examples from the Eton choirbook by John Browne (fl.c.1490) and William Cornysh, senior (c.1430–1502).
All are most welcome.
The poster depicts ‘Our Lady of Dublin’, the early 16th–century wooden sculpture of the Madonna and child, thought to have been taken from the Cistercian abbey of St Mary’s west of Capel Street at the Reformation, and now located in Whitefriar Street church.
