Bel a Capella
Victoria 'Requiem Mass, 1605'
A Prelude in Tea Concert.
Bel a Consort present its first performance of 2019 of Tomás Luis de Victoria’s requiem mass for six voices, written in 1603 and published in 1605. This masterpiece is one of a handful of large-scale works which enjoys mainstream appeal in the 21st century. For many, it represents what Renaissance polyphony is, what it sounds and feels like, and how expressive it can be.
