The music provided for the Court Chapel in Munich was some of the finest ever written during the sixteenth century, and the composer Orlandus Lassus was the jewel in the crown of the Dukes of Bavaria. At the heart of this concert will be Lassus’s magnificent double-choir Missa Bell' Amfitrit’ altera.
The rest of the programme, with music by Hassler, Milani and Gabrieli, will recreate a celebratory sequence of polychoral music for choir and soloists.
We are thrilled to be joined by the English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble, a virtuoso period instrument group with a host of distinguished recordings and collaborations to its name, together with Vox Populi.
