Cappella Gabrieli – Sanft und stille

Sunday March 19 at 3:00 PM Cappella Gabrieli will give her final concert in the Steigerkerk aan ‘t Hang in Rotterdam. The program includes works by Palestrina, Gesualdo, Brahms and Schönberg, among others.

Old and new
In Gesualdo’s Sacræ Cantiones Liber Secundus, some parts of which are on the program, old and new music are intimately intertwined. Of these six-part motets, which have been handed down in separate partbooks, two of the lost voices have been lost. At the request of the choir, the composers Theo Verbey, Joop Voorn and Henri Broeren rewrote them.
