Pomerium
Passion and Resurrection Motets of the Renaissance
Pomerium returns to The Cloisters for an exploration
of the great Renaissance choral music of Passiontide
and Easter. The program progresses from Palm
Sunday to Easter Day, with an emphasis on music
for Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Stylistically,
the progression leads from chant to its elaborations
by Dufay, Senfl, and Festa. Expressively, the austere
music associated with the Crucifixion gives way
to the splendid celebration of the Resurrection,
culminating in glorious motets by Lassus, Monteverdi,
Gesualdo, and Byrd.
* This concert is presented in The Fuentidueña Chapel at The Cloisters.
All seats are unreserved.
