Programme
Overview
Immerse yourself in two centuries of Renaissance music where the thunder of Jannequin’s battle cries collides with the serene grace of Schütz’s peace motets. Experience a programme of raw emotion and transcendent beauty forged in an age of conflict and alliance.Set against the turbulent canvas of Renaissance Europe—where territorial ambitions, Catholic–Protestant schisms and the Ottoman advance fueled relentless warfare—this evocative programme reveals how composers from Guillaume Dufay to Heinrich Schütz channeled turmoil into art. Jannequin’s La guerre unleashes vivid vocal clashes that mimic the cacophony of battle, while heartrending laments evoke the grief of fallen cities and generations lost to conflict. In contrast, luminous motets greet moments of truce with serene polyphony, celebrating dynastic marriages and peace treaties forged in courts across the continent. Join us for an immersive journey through almost two centuries of music that transforms the brutality of war into transcendent beauty and affirms the enduring hope for harmony.
