‘Dormi Jesu’ – Pegasus (Prague tour)

Chamber choir Pegasus perform a concert of English choral works on their tour to Prague including Stephen Dodgson’s beautiful miniature ‘Dormi Jesu’ – in the homeland of one of the composers he felt most influenced his work and style: Leoš Janáček. Dodgson’s simple soprano-alto-tenor miniature mixes medieval harmonies with a hint of modernism to produce an exquisite vision of the Virgin Mary nurturing the young Christ child.
