Le Concert Spirituel
Herv茅 Niquet (director)

Before there was Tallis鈥檚 mighty Spem in alium there was Striggio鈥檚 40-part Mass: a sumptuous Renaissance epic in surround sound. Lost for centuries, it returns to the Proms in the expert hands of period specialists Le Concert Spirituel under Herve虂 Niquet. Their musical ritual 鈥� a concert recreation of a festal Mass 鈥� also includes the 鈥榟eavenly harmony鈥� of the equally striking (and supersized) Ecce beatam lucem and music by Italian 16th- and 17th-century composers Benevolo and Coteccia, as well as motets by Palestrina, whose 500th anniversary falls this year.

The programme will also be interspersed with works by Benevolo, Corteccia and Palestrina.

There will be no interval.
