Medieval Women's Choir: Deliverance
$30 ($25 singer; pay-as-you-can for students/veterans/those in financial need)
Our recent experience with the COVID-19 epidemic leads us to contemplate how the people of medieval Europe viewed such events. The themes of intercession and deliverance are central to Christian thought; and deliverance from sin, from pestilence, from adversity, and from hardship – especially through the intercession of the saints – commonly finds expression in the music of the time. Visions, miracles, and direct interventions from the heavenly realm were part of popular culture and, reflecting a deep spirituality, were never far from the lived experience of believers. They provided consolation in times of loss and the promise of a better future. Help us celebrate our own deliverance by exploring its musical expression from times long past.
