Programme

Overview

Feel the earth tremble under Brumel’s majestic twelve-voice Mass as The Sixteen unleash thunderous, luminous harmonies. Their programme also features Lassus’s radiant Aurora lucis rutilat and Josquin’s stirring Praeter rerum seriem. Under Harry Christophers’s expert baton, immerse yourself in the sublime drama of Renaissance sacred music.Antoine Brumel’s ‘Earthquake’ Mass stands as a titanic testament to the expressive power of twelve-part harmony, its resounding chords evoking the very tremors of the earth. Under Harry Christophers’s meticulous direction, The Sixteen deliver each seismic cadence and soaring suspension with thrilling precision and devotional poise. This central masterpiece is framed by Lassus’s Aurora lucis rutilat, a radiant ten-voice celebration of dawn suffused with luminous counterpoint, and Josquin des Prez’s Praeter rerum seriem, whose rich, shadowy sonorities draw the listener into profound contemplation. Together, these works form a transcendent journey through the heights and depths of Renaissance sacred song, where light and darkness converge in sublime polyphonic splendour.
