From Darkness Into Light presents the complete Lamentations of Jeremiah for Good Friday by Antoine Brumel, discovered by co-director Laurie Stras in a modest manuscript preserved at the Biblioteca Nazionale in Florence. This huge work, composed in the form of a Renaissance tragedy, provides the first half of the programme. Its scribe, an obscure friar, also left another manuscript, copied for a Florentine convent. The second half brings into focus the anonymous beauty of works that decorated the nuns’ worship throughout the year. Musica Secreta will present these startling new discoveries combining music, visuals and commentary in a live ‘documentary-concert’.
