Iberia is the source for this year's holiday concert. Schola Cantorum's program showcases both the ethereal beauty and vital rhythmic energy that characterize Hispanic music from the 15th–17th centuries. Works by Guerrero, Morales, Esquivel, Heredia, Cristo, Lobo, and Cererols embody the Peninsula's serene, Flemish-inspired polyphony as well as its unique tradition of sacred villancicos, light-hearted, often earthy pieces on sacred themes, set to rollicking, singable, and danceable tunes.
