Marian liturgy in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean
Traveling between the Western Middle Ages, Byzantine heritage and Eastern Christian tradition, the Irini Vocal Ensemble highlights the different figures of the Virgin Mary and her cult, which finds a particular resonance in the Mediterranean. From the almost erotic celebration of the Blossoming Maiden, reminiscent of ancient pagan rites, to the lament of the Mother, the earthly woman confronted with the death of her only child, to the praise of the Queen of Heaven, the universal Mother interceding for humanity, it is an image of the woman that is both one and multiple that we see taking shape through the epiclesis of Mary.
The program features Greek, Lebanese, Syriac and Cypriot Orthodox chants, excerpts from the Livre Vermeil de Montserrat (14th-century Spain), and 13th-century Italian Lauds.
From one shore of the Mare Nostrum to the other, Ensemble Irini (whose name means ?peace? in Greek) invites you to discover the diversity and musical richness of Marian worship in the Mediterranean.
