Paweł Łukaszewski – O vos omnes
Gregorio Allegri – Miserere mei, Deus
Traditional – Gregorian Chant

Allegri – Miserere mei Deus
Tallis – Lamentations of Jeremiah
Gesualdo – O vos omnes

A sacred liturgy culminating in Gregorio Allegri’s stirring setting of Psalm 51, Miserere mei, Deus (“Have mercy on me, O God”).

This program runs the gamut of Tallis’s output: from austere English service music to extravagant many-voiced polyphony and mature, carefully-constructed motets.
