Jubilate! Music of Lassus, Palestrina, Gombert, Andrea Gabrieli, and Giovanni Gabrieli

Don’t miss a blockbuster collaboration between two of Early Music’s most celebrated ensembles. Director Peter Phillips has planned a program of music which celebrates the 500^th anniversary of Palestrina’s birth, as well as honoring his friendly artistic relations with two of his greatest contemporaries, Orlandus Lassus and Nicolas Gombert. It’s not always clear whether sacred music was accompanied in 16^th-century worship, but Lassus had spent time in one of the more likely places to hear voices with instruments: Venice. The distinguished instrumentalists of The English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble join the singers of The Tallis Scholars for celebratory bookends by Lassus and his younger colleague Giovanni Gabrieli.
