Sublime choral music of the late Renaissance
At the end of the 16th century, sacred choral music throughout Europe was shaped by Franco-Flemish and Italian composers. They all sought to set religious texts to music with uplifting sounds designed to bring the divine glory and order to life. Yet, when compared directly – as in today’s NoonSong – distinct differences between the individual masters and regions can still be heard.
