Sexta Maior
This programme proposes a listening experience of the sonic and devotional universe of the Passion of Christ, as we might imagine it in the context of the 16th-century Portuguese Royal Chapel: at its centre, the Chyrios das Trevas, the oldest polyphonic work with an unequivocal origin in the Portuguese Royal Chapel (c. 1500), preserved as an appendix to a Ceremonial of the Royal Chapel once belonging to the Infanta D. Maria and now held at the National Library of Naples.
In dialogue with this central work, Iberian motets will be heard, offering a complementary perspective on the circulation of repertories through manuscript sources, such as CIC 60 of the National Library of Lisbon. The concert takes place in a low-light setting that evokes the Tenebrae liturgy of the Paschal Triduum.
Pre-concert talk by Pedro Sousa Silva at 7:30 pm.
