Stile Antico: Golden Renaissance

The five-star vocal ensemble makes its Snape Maltings debut with some of the greatest music of the Renaissance, including Allegri’s timeless Miserere.

In this attractive and highly contrasted programme, Stile Antico selects one piece from each of its sixteen award-winning albums to create a thrilling journey through some of the greatest music of the Renaissance. Exuberant works by composers such as Byrd, Gibbons, Tomkins and Praetorius rub shoulders with tranquil motets by Taverner, Clemens non Papa and Tallis, and the alluring sounds of Huw Watkins’ virtuosic The Phoenix and the Turtle, written especially for the group. Allegri’s Miserere completes this mouthwatering programme.
