In 1994, the National Library of the Czech Republic acquired a large paper choirbook from private hands that contained eight four-voice mass cycles as well as choral settings of the responses during Mass. Among these works was an unknown mass that has now been identified as the work of prominent Renaissance composer Heinrich Isaac. Modelled after the rotulum Presulem Ephebeatum in honour of St. Martin by the composer Petrus Wilhelmi de Grudencz, Missa Presulem Ephebeatum is an exciting new discovery.
Chorus Ecclesiae is pleased to have received special permission from the National Library of the Czech Republic to premiere in Australia this recent discovery.
In addition to the Mass, we will also be performing motets dedicated to St. Martin and the Blessed Virgin Mary, featuring composers such as Fawknyer, Marenzio, de Monte, and Phillips. With the generous support of the Robert Saltzer Foundation, we are excited to bring this wonderful concert to the stunning Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo. Joining us are some of Melbourne’s finest emerging artists. We hope to see you there!
