Come to the Cathedral and explore Haydn’s Mass for Troubled Times (Missa in Angustiis) with its stark and powerful opening that gives way to the light and joy we all seek. Revel in the beautifully rhythmic writing for strings in Vivaldi’s Beatus Vir (Blessed is the Man who fears the Lord) combined with ethereal vocal lines. And be captivated by Monteverdi’s raucous Laetatus sum (I was glad) with a recurrent bass that drives the momentum forward until a stunning ending.
