THE LIFE OF
CHRIST
Prophetic texts ascribed to
powerful women visionaries
known as sibyls fascinated the
early Christian church. One poem
ascribed to the Erythraean Sibyl,
for instance, was thought to foretell
the coming of Christ. By the 16 th
century the number of sibyls was
fixed at twelve, each associated
with prophecies concerning the
life of Christ. This concert presents
music from the 11 th to the 16 th
centuries highlighting each of the
sibyls’ symbols and the Christian
prophecies they represent.
