Vocal ensemble Stile Antico
from
center
In this attractive and contrasting program, Stile Antico selects one piece from each of its 16 award-winning albums to embark on an exciting journey through some of the most significant works of the Renaissance. Exuberant works by composers such as Byrd, Gibbons, Tomkins, and Praetorius meet tranquil motets by Taverner, Clemens non Papa, and Tallis. The program also features the seductive sounds of Huw Watkins' virtuoso “The Phoenix and the Turtle,” written especially for the group. The program is rounded off by three works by the important representative of the “stile antico” – Palestrina, whose 500th birthday is being celebrated this year – as well as a new work by Cheryl Frances-Hoad, composed to mark this anniversary.
