Suzi Digby is back, and most happily for us, has generously agreed once again to celebrate Advent with us by sharing her new recording, The Mystery of Christmas.
And as a special treat just for our Millennium fans, she's allowing us to email you a free Advent song every day from Dec 6th through Dec 24th.
DAY FIVE: Suzi performed the Thomas Tallis Videte miraculum back with her “Many Are the Wonders” project, and this setting (“Behold the miracle”) for the Feast of the Purification uses the plainchant version with absolute mastery. Again, from Jeremy Summerly: “…in the phrase “stans onerata”…the image of the pregnant young woman gives the impression of simultaneous authority and uncertainty. There is a delicate serenity throughout that is decidedly human and humane in its musical treatment. The theology of the text is heavenly and sublime, yet the musical setting is more mundane than that—this newly-pregnant young lady is scared, but trying very hard not to be.”
Also remember that Suzi would like to offer you a copy of her new recording as a free gift if you:
- Join Millennium of Music as a Bronze or higher member with a new membership.
- Upgrade your current membership to Silver or Gold.
- Or give a gift membership for a friend or loved one.
So, apparently, Suzi Digby is Santa Claus! At least for us!
