Perhaps the greatest genius of this blessed period was Pierluigi Da Palestrina whose Olympian polyphony masterfully emphasized the liturgical texts set to music, consolidating an illustrious tradition that Gregorio Allegri crowned with an incomparable masterpiece, his mythical Miserere, with stratospheric acute lines.Peter Phillips and his Tallis Scholars restore a mass office from large pages of Palestrina, including motets of masters all related to the Chapelle Sixtine. There is no need to reaffirm that this formation will deploy the incredible vocal perfection that makes its glory.
