Faith in the City Expressions of belief

For around 750 years in Iberia, Catholics, Jews and Muslims enjoyed religious freedom, spoke each others’ languages and shared philosophies, science and cultures. It is a period known as la convivencia – the co-existence. We begin to explore this concept with Bernstein’s overtly Jewish Chichester Psalms which are sung in Hebrew, the devout setting of the Mass by MacMillan and Islamic repertoire performed by Abdul Salam Kheir.

“All the lands, in their diversity, are one, and men are all neighbours and brothers” (Al-Zubaidi, tutor of the Andalusian Caliph, Al-Hakam II, 10th century)
