Product Description

The O Antiphons, or the Great Advent Antiphons, are a series of ancient texts sung before the
Magnificat canticle during Vespers on the seven days before Christmas Eve. They date to the sixth
century, and have their origins in Old Testament titles for the coming Messiah.

These settings, in English, of the O Antiphons were written for SCHOLA HYBERNIAE, an all-female
ensemble specialising in Gregorian Chant and early polyphony. Of special interest to the group is music from early manuscripts associated with Irish saints. These short choral vignettes can be performed as a set, or as individual reflective pieces in liturgy throughout the season of Advent. When sung in concert setting, I envisage that the chant antiphon is sung before each choral presentation, and have incorporated references to chant, organum, and open harmony throughout.
