Composer creates video to accompany movements from “Blesséd Cecilia”

LFCCM 2023’s gala concert, “Blesséd Cecilia”, saw composers from across the UK come together in a remarkable collaboration that celebrated 20 years of Christopher Batchelor’s founding and leadership of the LFCCM. Eleven of the composers worked together on Missa Brevis pro Baccalarius, a collaborative mass setting dedicated to Christopher Batchelor that was inspired by the collaborative creation of the Missa Cantantibus organis Cæcilia in the 1580s by Palestrina’s students in honour of their renowned teacher.

Now the composer of the Benedictus, David McGregor, has created a video that lets you follow along with the musical score of the Sanctus and Benedictus while listening to the live performance. Enjoy!
