Josquin Deprez at Zuiderstrand Theatre

The Tallis Scholars are 'masters of Renaissance music. " The fifteenth and sixteenth-century choral repertoire they sing "flawless, with love and understanding (the NRC)." This program features two entirely different old masters central. Josquin Desprez excelled perfectly balanced music. The Missa Ave Maris Stella, he wrote one of his most sublime masterpieces. Gesualdo was just an impetuous spirit that in whimsical compositions are emotions free rein left.

You listen moreover gorgeous Palestrina motets composed for the Sistine Chapel, next Lamentations Dominique Phinot. The Frenchman wrote his Lamentations for two four-part ensembles arranged facing each other. The poignant composition which Jeremiah laments the destruction of Jerusalem, is known as the first successful multi-choral composition in music history.
