Performance of 鈥�Sponsus鈥�, 听a sung drama from medieval Aquitaine.
This Sunday, 3 March, at 6pm in Christ鈥檚 College Chapel there will be an abridged performance of 鈥楽ponsus鈥�, a play written c.1050-1100 and chanted in Occitan and Latin.
A new translation, with scoring, has been made by Dr Mary Franklin-Brown, Fellow in MML at Christ鈥檚.听 The piece dramatizes the biblical parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins and will be accompanied by an address by Dr Franklin-Brown, within the context of a shortened Evensong.听 In addition, in line with our policy of featuring other languages in chapel this term, there will be readings in Italian and Chinese.听
All are welcome to attend.
