Gallus – Byrd / MVP 6
Program
Slovenian Philharmonic Choir
Stephen Layton conductor
The St Nicholas Cathedral in the heart of Ljubljana will once again be filled with the spirit of Renaissance opulence. In the timeless dialogue of a Mass modelled on the motet Elisabethae impletum est tempus – a work that we have not yet had an opportunity to hear in Slovenia – and intimate motets, the concert will open the doors to the world of polyphony by Jacobus Handel-Gallus and William Byrd, a world imbued with spiritual depth and architectural clarity.
