This is On Point. I'm Magna Chakrabardi.

The vocal ensemble, Blue Heron, is regarded as one of the finest groups of its kind.

They specialize in medieval and Renaissance polyphony, specifically 15th and 16th century vocal music,

from England, France, Germany, and Spain.

Musical director Scott Metcalfe says the group meticulously studies original source material,

some of which has been literally buried inside of ancient church walls for centuries,

in order to bring to life what the group lovingly calls music before Mozart.

Recently, Blue Heron performed live at WBUR's city space events venue,

taking listeners back to Christmas in 16th century

Spain. Both liturgical and joyful, the music contains unmistakable motifs that are still alive

in Spanish music today, more than half a millennium later. So today, we are delighted to take you on a

journey to a Spanish Christmas long past with

Blue Heron. We'll start with Cantite Tuba In Cion by Francisco Guerrero, one of the most

important Spanish composers of the 16th century.
