Description
Mid-16th century: Catholic Church music is threatened by a 'pandemic'. All too worldly, artificial things had crept into sacred chanting to such an extent that the famous Council of Trent even wanted to reduce singing in the mass to the monophonic Gregorian chant again.
As the Fama tells us, Palestrina saved polyphonic church music from this crisis with his "Missa Papae Marcelli".
In a live recording, beauty farm sings this legendary work, which raises complex questions of interpretation and juxtaposes the mass with well- known hymns in the chorale.
frabernardo dedicates the album to Bruno Turner, who once set standards in early music with the ensemble Pro Cantione Antiqua, for his 90th birthday.
"Beauty Farm have made a debut of note." (Gombert Masses) - Gramophone
