About This Event
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the brilliance of Cristóbal de Morales, the first Spanish composer to gain international acclaim! Experience the magic of the Renaissance as we delve into the life and works of the man hailed as 'the Light of Spain in Music'.
Taking place at the stunning Little Saint Mary's Parish Church in Cambridge, this concert features the talented choir DE PROFUNDIS performing two of Morales’ most exquisite Masses:
- Missa de Beata Virgine - A breathtaking piece for four voices, expanding to five in its final movement.
- Missa Tristezas me matan - A captivating work inspired by a beloved Spanish song.
But that’s not all! The program also includes the exhilarating Magnificat quarti toni, showcasing the rich textures and emotional depth of Morales' compositions.
This concert marks the fifth chapter of an ambitious twelve-year project by De Profundis to perform and record all of Morales’ Masses and Magnificats, under the expert direction of Robert Hollingworth and Eamonn Dougan.
