Harry ChristophersAbout
This album features a selection of Palestrina’s music for Christmas, including his largely unknown masterpiece, the Missa O magnum mysterium. Also presented are several unusual hymn settings, amongst them A solis ortu cardine - a setting of a chant hymn for Christmas morning.
Alongside the hymns are motets from the Song of Songs. The Song of Songs are among some of Palestrina’s most sublime and expressive works and, as with previous disc in the series, this album includes three of them. Dedicated to Pope Gregory XIII, Palestrina’s style of writing for these sensual texts demonstrates what variety and intensity of feeling can be conveyed with the simplest of means.
Completing this recording are three double-choir motets (a genre in which Palestrina was unsurpassed): Ave Regina, Iubilate Deo and Surge illuminare.
