Ensemble Vocal Aura
Sancta
Sancta. Allusion to what is pure, to what is worthy of reverence. Mention of the feminine, transversal to time and space. Thus prove the Ave Generosa by Hildegard von Bingen (1098 - 1179) and Ola Gjeilo (b. 1978). Homonymous themes, influence and influenced. Separated by 925 years (and more than 1000 kilometers, which separate Germany from Norway). United through jubilation, homage, the appeal to the Virgin, the female voice. It is through the latter that we also travel through the French gaze, by means of Maurice Duruflé (1902 - 1986); Portuguese, with Alfredo Teixeira (b. 1965), Cláudio Carneyro (1895 - 1963) and Rui Paulo Teixeira (b. 1973); English, through John Tavener (1944 - 2013) and Gustav Holst (1874 - 1934); and Italian, resorting to Giuseppe Verdi (1813 - 1901). They tell us stories about the divine, presented in different styles, textures and languages. Today, they will come to us through the interpretation of the Aura Vocal Ensemble, in an evening that will last just under an hour.
