Description

Saint Cecilia is known as the patron saint of musicians, for while musical instruments played she sang in her heart to the Lord. With her musical spirit in mind, we present a recounting of the passion of St. Cecilia in story and in song: the first modern performance of the music from the York Feast of Saint Cecilia, with text and music newly transcribed from Lambeth Palace Library Sion College Ms L-1 by Brandon Wild, Gregorian Institute of Canada.
