Now May We Singen

From the angels that sing and the cattle that low to the wisdom of the star and musings of a stable mouse, this programme will explore the voices that tell and re-tell the stories of Christmas. Including music by Leighton, McDowall, Schütz, Byrd and Hildegard von Bingen, Untune the Sky presents a programme of word and song for Advent and Christmas.

Untune the Sky is an Oxford-based mixed vocal-instrumental consort, specialising in soloistic ensemble performance. The group's repertoire features music from the 15th to 21st Centuries and they have performed in many venues, including the cathedrals of Oxford, Bristol, and Clifton.

Their name is taken from the last stanza of John Dryden’s poem “A Song for St Cecilia’s Day, 1687” reflecting the fact that the powerful relationships between music and language lie at the heart of their artistic vision.
