After Huelgas Ensemble Psallentes, too, goes deeply into the rich sound world of the Missa in illo tempore, Monteverdi’s oldest Mass, based on the motet with the same title by Nicolas Gombert. Around this work by the young and ambitious Claudio, Psallentes constructs an exciting programme, featuring in addition to Gombert’s original motet also plainchant from sources printed in Antwerp in the early 17th century. 

Monteverdi intended to demonstrate through the Missa in illo tempore how skillful he was with imitation between voices as well as with ancient forms of counterpoint generally. From Gombert’s work he distilled eight themes (he called them ‘fughe’), using them throughout the Mass as building stones for his mighty construction. For this concert Psallentes adopts XL strength: with twelve singers and continuo.

Laus Polyphoniae invites the Italian keyboard specialist Lorenzo Ghielmi for a harpsichord recital with repertoire from Monteverdi’s era. You will hear music by, among others, Tarquinio Merula, Giovanni Paolo Cima, Luzzasco Luzzaschi and his famous pupil Girolamo Frescobaldi.

Luzzaschi, praised by Frescobaldi as musician and teacher, published at least three volumes with Ricercares. Unfortunately these publications were lost, except one that survives in a manuscript. That’s why only a handful of works for keyboard by Luzzaschi has come down to us. Be sure to let yourself be spoiled by Ghielmi and the originators of the Italian clavier style.
