Palestrina was the outstanding composer of the late Renaissance in Europe. His long-lasting influence on the development of church music and counterpoint included his most famous mass setting, Missa Papae Marcelli, which served as a model for mass settings during the Counter-Reformation. The program also features music by two other leading contemporaries of Palestrina: Spanish Counter-Reformation composer and possible pupil of Palestrina, Tomás Luis de Victoria, and Franco-Flemish composer Orlando Lassus.
The program will also be presented at Kilworth Memorial Chapel in Tacoma, WA following a masterclass that is open to the public on Sunday, April 16, 2023. More information: https://www.livemusicproject.org/events/70274/byrd-ensemble-master-class-and-concert
