Approved

In her 70th birthday year, Judith Weir’s colourful Missa del Cid is the crowning work of this BBC Singers’ sequence, a piece which brings to life the dramatic world of the legendary war lord Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, re-named by Hollywood as El Cid. Díaz de Vivar’s context is reflected in the jewel-like music of Pérotin, alongside choral works by Renaissance Spanish giants, Victoria and Guerrero. Plus gems by Weir’s fellow Scots composers Sir James Macmillan and Electra Perivolaris.
