The 成人快手 Singers perform choral music by Sir James Macmillan
The 成人快手 Singers and their Chief Conductor, Sofi Jeannin perform the UK premiere of Sir James MacMillan's Ordo Virtutum at Milton Court concert hall in the city of London.
As part of their centenary season, the 成人快手 Singers present the UK premiere of Sir James MacMillan鈥檚 epic new choral work, Ordo Virtutum.
This setting of a sacred music drama by Hildegard of Bingen, the first ever medieval musical drama, depicts a Miltonian battle between Good and Evil, represented by the human soul, the Virtues and the Devil.
Part 1 introduces the Soul, the Virtues (including Faith, Innocence, Mercy and Victory), the Patriarchs and Prophets. The Devil intervenes in Part 2 causing the battle for eternal life of the Soul in Part 3, eventually leading to the conquering of Satan in Part 4.
Recorded at Milton Court, London on 13 February 2025. Presented by Ian Skelly.
