Description

ATMA Classique, Ensemble ArtChoral and Mécénat Musica are proud to present Art choral, Vol. 1 : Renaissance with Ensemble ArtChoral under the direction of Matthias Maute. Volume 1 surveys choral repertoire by Renaissance composers such as Cristóbal de Morales and Tomás Luis de Victoria (Spain), Andrea Gabrieli and Cipriano de Rore (Italy), Clément Jannequin and Josquin des Prés (France), and Thomas Tallis and William Byrd (England), in music that reflects the flowering of vocal polyphony in Renaissance Europe.

The ART CHORAL series is a unique and ambitious project surveying the history of choral singing over six centuries, from the Renaissance to the present day. Consisting of 15 volumes, the series will roll out over seven years and will feature works by 70 composers from the 16th to the 21st centuries, as well as 15 webcast concerts and 150 videos.
