Join the choir of Worcester College, Oxford, for a ravishing combination of 19th-century harmonies and Renaissance polyphony. The first half showcases mostly Germanic music from the 19th Century, including motets by Bruckner, Brahms, and Rheinberger, with organ music by Mendelssohn and Brahms. The second half features music for compline and the ending of the day, including timeless plainsong, and works by Tallis, Robert White, and Weelkes.
