BERLINER CAPPELLA

A cappella pieces from the Renaissance, a period of scientific and cultural awakening, meet contemporary sacred and secular works.


And it is always about new beginnings: the creation of the world (John Rutter), David's pain of parting after the death of his son Absalom (Thomas Weelkes) or new life in a foreign land (Apollonio Maiello). Matthew Martins even says: ‘Behold, I make all things new.’


  • Apollonio Maiello: Io non ho paese – Uraufführung
  • Matthew Martin: A Song of the New Jerusalem
  • Bob Chilcott: I Share Creation
  • John Rutter: Hymn to the Creator of Light
  • Thomas Weelkes: When David Heard
  • Nicolas Gombert: Lugebat David Absolon
  • Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina: Nunc dimittis
