ANGEL CONCERT
Divine Music for the Divine, 1400-1500

Watch fragment of this program on YouTube!

Summary

Angels making music - whether singing or playing musical instruments - are a common motive in the late medieval visual arts. They peform for the divine persons and the harmony of their music is hidden to mortal ears. Sometimes the artist puts a real piece of contemporary music in the angelic hands as if, in his eyes, it achieved a level of excellence worthy of angelic performers... A series of musical images drawn from the vast repertoire of late medieval sacred music, half way between Heaven and Earth. Perfect for Christmas season.
