Watertown Musica Viva presents a powerful program for choir and organ that spans styles and sacred traditions. Howells’ Te Deum from Collegium Regale brings a distinctly English voice—lush harmonies, expressive lines, and a sense of reverence shaped by the Anglican tradition. Ireland’s Greater Love Hath No Man offers a poignant meditation on sacrifice and grace, weaving together scripture and soaring melodic writing. Mathias’ Let the People Praise Thee, O God is a vibrant work composed for royal ceremony, full of rhythmic energy and bold choral textures.

Dvořák’s Mass in D Major closes the concert with warmth and clarity, written originally for modest forces and rich in lyrical simplicity and heartfelt devotion.
